The problem seems to be that the actions of politicians, other powerful people in business and people in the media have completely derailed the public trust in science and evidence based facts. It seems to be that politicians and those in power do not want truth because they would be shown for what they are so they are happy to create this stew of BS to mask it all. It’s just a really sad state of affairs in this world and some days I feel like John Malkovich

True. The pandemic was somehow the best thing to ever happen to the pharmaceutical industry. Right as people started to catch on to the shit they pull they get a PR opportunity on a silver plater and everyone is back in on them. The 180 from before pandemic to now is remarkable.

It is insane to me. It is one of the craziest things that I have noticed in my life. 2019, most of the left and right was in on the fact that big pharm was taking advantage of us and knowingly getting a massive amount of the country addicted to opioids. Posts and comments about the leeching nature of big pharm were widely popular and upvoted. Covid hit and it’s a literal 180 from the year before. It’s truly amazing. Big pharm could not have asked for a better scenario.
