big pharma

Thought I'd make a topic about this, since I didn't find one. http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Big_Pharma This is one of my CTer's YT friends. He's called Mr Grimv. About Mr Grimv: Seems that he edited his introduction page, since it used to mention that he's a "Expert on Big Pharma". His...

Another Big Pharma Conspiracy rant, I'm afraid. The reason I've posted it here and not in the Conspiracy forum is becuase I'm interested in one specific point: I know about antibiotic-resistant tuberculosis bacilli; but I just don't believe they've really stopped trying to produce new...
