Like chemo drugs that are just sugar and xema

Pfizer is just as bad as the opium warlords in afghanistan. They actually lobbied congress to get the FBI involved in unlawful drug raids in other countries. They are using our tax dollars for their benefit because they hate competition. Some fucking country we live in.

big pharma is just as criminal and kills far more people than any criminal organization.

@babe0nboard7 we're used to be second hand class citizens, although microsoft had like 50% romanian employess, nasa less, romanians invented the pen, and of course baseball is a variation on the 2000 year old game called "oina" around these parts

@Sektorrules That is incredibly interesting- for obvious reasons this isn't highlighted in the Canadian university education system- thank you for the enlightenment!

@babe0nboard7 our guy was a nationalist and a little bit antisemitic that's why the nobel prize went to somebody else...i have a list of around 50 romanian inventions for which the nobel prize were awarded to anyone else except romanians

@babe0nboard7 actually was Nicolae Constantin Paulescu in 1921 Banting sayst:

„I regret very much that there was an error in our translation of Professor Paulescu's article, I cannot recollect, after this length of time, exactly what happened (...) I do not remember whether we relied on our own poor French or whether we had a translation made. In any case I would like to state how sorry I am for this unfortunate error (...)”

@Sektorrules Actually, it was 2 Canadian researchers, Banting & Best, who discovered and isolated insulin for the successful treatment of type 1 diabetes. Banting was awarded with a Nobel Prize for this discovery in 1923.
