Pharmacuticals

This is another post on Health care, it's not that this is a health care economics blog- it's that health care is important and the health care system is functioning at such a low efficiency and moral level that it's just really apparent that there needs to be critical analysis.

The Wall Street Journal reports that: Drug makers, facing declining sales in the U.S., have begun targeting the working poor in developing countries. When news like this is presented, it becomes clear that positive health outcomes are not the priority for pharmaceutical companies. This just proves that these greedy bastards are just modern apothecary hacks.

On a related note, did you know that: the vaccination schedule for today's children recommends over thirty shots before a child turns two; the time frame when over 80% of brain development occurs. Autism controversy aside (not enough conclusive research in any direction) the board of physicians who recommend under the guise of CDC these shots are many times the developers of the drugs themselves, and actually receive a cut for the price of each shot administered? Many others promoting these drugs are pharmaceutical reps. In my opinion, there is a massive conflict of interest and the future of our nation versus the astronomical profits of a few are at odds.
