• All working in tandem…for capitalism.

    Shame the otherwise good meme leaves out the most important part.

    Also, and this is by no means a defence of the “big” part of big pharma, but I think it’s important to diferenciate science, medicine, and pharmaceuticals from the for profit and higher management/ownership elements of the industry, because pushing anti “big pharma” sentiment is exactly how every single health conspiracy theory (and the snake oil targeted at the most vulnerable people as a result) takes its hold. Phrases like “big pharma” “big ag” and so on exist to make sure those using them as scapegoats and to push “alternatives” don’t accidentally target the real source of the problem (and the reason they’re in the market manipulating people in to buying their own products) - capitalism.

    NPR does not deserve to be on that list. You can tell because Republicans have been trying to kill it forever.
