 Don't misunderstand, not all pharma companies are villains. Many strive for both profit and progress, but the system itself, fueled by patents and market forces, can incentivize practices that prioritize profit over patience. This is where ethical blind spots emerge, demanding our attention. So why should we care? Because these issues directly impact our health. When access to vital medications hinges on wealth, not need, it creates a healthcare system fueled by inequality. When safety concerns are jumped over in the pursuit of profit, lives are put at risk. And when industry influence sways medical decisions, the very foundation of trust in healthcare crumbles. Now the good news, facing these controversies head on is not a lost cause. We can together demand a more ethical pharma.
