Big Pharma gonna Big Pharma
What I find disturbing is so many people still buy snake oil.
Yes, but how many years did it take to develop the drug? Companies have to make a profit or nothing is going to be made.
We should be more angry about our amazing economy not supporting universal healthcare 🙄
I was just telling some redneck yesterday that he should make and sell Ozempic.
He told me it’s a free country and he can do anything he wants. He told me individuals can solve any problem.
Let’s see…
R and D your not paying for just the drug your paying for the research behind it as well as all of the failures beforehand.
Probably just a supply chain issue, likely just transitory.
For all of those who are very concerned about Novo Nordisk making back their money for all that R&D and all of those other failed drugs, [here are their net profits](https://www.statista.com/statistics/947619/net-profit-of-novo-nordisk/) from 2009-2023.
With only $1.56 billion in net profits in 2009, you can see they were down to Ramen. Fortunately in 2023, they can upgrade to KFC or maybe even Wendy’s with a moderate but livable $12.1 billion in net profits.
Now, for fun, go through this comment section and guess which people have investments in Novo Nordisk. I know it’ll be a completely wild guess, but, y’know.
