There's been an absolutely bonkers flip in the public collective opinion of drug manufacturing companies in the past year. For all my life until 8 months ago, these companies were money grubbing thieves, committing literal murder for not giving away expensive to develop and expensive to manufacture and expensive to test drugs, and we need generics of everything (which is a valid opinion: fuck companies that would mildly tweak formulas for the pure benefit of profit without any aid to people.)
Now all of a sudden, cheap and effective alternatives are fucking VILE AND EVIL and how DARE you consider depriving these companies of the ability to manufacture billions of doses of a new drug at a major premium and forcing another billions of shots 6 months from now you are KILLING THE WORLD.
Dude the fact that safe drugs that have been used for decades can’t be discussed as having a possible benefit for the wuflu is utterly insane.
