People suffer, big pharma profits

[superadmin]

For more than two years, people on the planet have been living in fear of an invisible virus and its variants. The SARS-CoV-2 virus, detected in late-December 2019 in Wuhan, China, has since mutated multiple times, with some variants, such as Omicron, becoming more transmissible.

Covid-19 has caused more than 5.9 million deaths and infected more than 438 million people (as at March 2) throughout the world; and the numbers keep rising.

However, while millions upon millions of people are suffering, some are becoming wealthier. In particular, pharmaceutical firms providing vaccines and related material for the Covid-19 pandemic, and their top officials, are raking in money in the billions.

Some would say the profits are derived from the tears, fears and pain of ordinary people.
