RE: Truth and insight - Pharmaceutical industry (Me as an ex-employee)
You don't write like someone who has actually worked for pharma, at least not as a scientist. You sound like someone who doesn't understand anything at all about what is being done by the researchers there.
In that case, usage of highly poisonous, mostly cheap materials are not generally bad
What a fearmongering, and stupid sentence.
I do know what I am writing of. And I am talking based on things I saw working there. The Chinese counter-part of active ingredient for some liquid-form drugs was cheap and proved toxic by our health federation. And if you are accusing me of lying (that I worked in pharma), I could prove it to you somewhere more private.
No I'm accusing you of not understanding how chemistry works. Because it's clear you don't have a clue.
I did have to know some chemistry to get the job done actually. :D
And I also told you that I have worked as a laboratory worker there, not a researcher. I got the ingredients and the recipe,and I mixed it using machines specialized to do so. I don't know where did you think of me as a researcher. And yes, I do know prices of active and passive ingredients, and they are very cheap regarding the price of the drug itself.
Drug pricing has nothing to do with the cost of the materials, and everything to do with supply and demand (for generics). For non generic drugs the costs are high as companies must recoup the insane costs for research and clinical trials (tens to hundreds of millions for clinical trials alone).
You are absolutely right. And as I wrote in the post, it is not a conspiracy, that we sometimes use toxic materials to produce drugs that could save our lives. So once again I don't know what did I say wrong
