Not wrong but wasn't a paradigm shift bc aspirin had long been off patent.
95% mark-up on "novel" drugs.
With planned prescrip. drug coverage changes coming,
meant draining lots more money from "treasury" (debt)
and into Pharma pockets.
Pharma passed Oil as world's most profitable industry after statins. Lipitor was #1 drug in profits for years.
FDA also corrupt in now approving "new" drugs even tho don't meet both criteria of final (phase III) clinical trials. Sometimes neither:
1) safe 2) work better than existing drug for same condition
All so Pharm can rake in profits from patented meds. And to get public used to the "new-and-improved" paradigm of constant change for other planned roll-outs. Keeps the enemy in a constant state of reaction/adjustment for the upper hand.
