There is only one life for a person, and in this life, whether the quality is good or not, and how well you live is decided by yourself, because all choices in life are made by yourself, there is no need to blame others, it is a fork in the road of life. You can only rely on yourself for this kind of thing. What others give may not be right, nor may it be what you want.
But the length of life can be chosen by oneself, but it is also something that cannot be chosen by oneself.
Because humans are fragile, a small cold can take away human life, so we gave birth to doctors, medicine, and various drugs, all for a longer and healthier existence.
It's just this most basic requirement, the most expensive requirement in the night market in this world, life is priceless.
The drugs that allow life to continue to exist have a price, so a lot of pharmaceutical companies have been born, and they all rely on these drugs to support themselves.
How big is the pharmaceutical market?
It is conservatively estimated to exceed one trillion U.S. dollars, and at the highest it may exceed two trillion U.S. dollars, because many health care products are also sold in the name of medical supplies, but these things are not included in the medical market, and there are many deceptions. Counterfeit drugs are not included in this market, so this market is a bottomless market.
The world's largest pharmaceutical companies are all in the West. They control most of the pharmaceutical market by relying on their monopoly on chemistry, medicine, and biology, as well as on the data obtained from human trials during the war years.
Only a little bit of residue leaks out from between their fingers, and then companies from other countries compete for it. Moreover, they also monopolize a large number of life-saving drugs for serious diseases, allowing others to take money in exchange for lives, and the same life is priced at different prices.
The price of the same medicine is different in every country. Some countries are not short of money, but medicines are very cheap, while some countries are underdeveloped, but medicines are the most expensive in the world.
Generally speaking, the country with the most expensive drugs in the world is Zhuxia!
Just like I am not Glenin in the God of Medicine, how much does this medicine cost?
In a country with big generic drugs, the wholesale price of this drug is only 500, but how much is it in Zhuxia? Forty thousand, one bottle, forty thousand, one bottle a month!
This price is completely plundering and murdering. Although it seems that the seller just set the price high, in fact the price of this medicine is completely outrageous. They just don't want people in Zhuxia to take the medicine, or in other words They wanted the people of Zhuxia to die.
As I said before, for some people, or some nations, only I can have human rights.
Just like those who support racial egalitarianism, their biggest request is that their neighbors cannot be the black people they help, because they do not want to live with animals.
This is even more true for the rest of the world.
So even if Zhuxia is the largest emerging market for those pharmaceutical companies, they will not make any compromises in this market. In their view, selling you medicine is a gift.
Therefore, their attitude has always been bad and contemptuous. Even if they make money, they still look aggrieved.
And many people in Zhuxia have felt this.
And Zhuo Qun also took action in this regard.
I brought the film source of I Am Not the God of Medicine from other worlds, and then found the actors' peers in this world and threw money at them to make them sign contracts and shut up. Then the film was released in all theaters during the Spring Festival. Released.
After that, a large number of soft popular science articles came out, letting everyone know that the research and development of the drug Glenin had nothing to do with the Nova Group, the company that manufactured and sold Lenin.
The drug Glenin has been targeted at leukemia from the beginning. The academic community has also clarified the pathogenic mechanism of this disease. It only needs to develop targeted drugs based on the pathogenic mechanism. Moreover, people in the academic community do not have any medicine. With funding from the company, we will complete the important preparatory work for the development of this targeted drug.
And because the disease-causing mechanism is clear, this drug was approved for marketing after only the first phase of clinical trials. It can be said that Novavax obtained a drug patent for nothing. Novavax has no scientific research expenditures from the beginning to the end.
Some only cost around 10 million for the first phase of clinical trials.
The pharmaceutical industry often defends the price of high-priced drugs by saying that a pill costs only five cents, but why does it cost $500? Because it was the second drug, the first drug was the prototype, and the development of the prototype drug cost 5 billion US dollars.
This sentence also convinced a large number of people, but this time under the operation of Zhuo Qun, the entire Internet started a discussion, and even the international community started a discussion. Everyone clearly understood the source of Greining’s research funding. Out.
Although many people feel that the timing of this information being released is too coincidental, no one feels that there is anything wrong sometimes, because no one can maintain their own sanity at this time, and everyone is disturbed by this group opinion. .
Everyone began to investigate the affairs of those pharmaceutical companies, and negative news about pharmaceutical companies continued to break out.
At this time, the whole world knew that some of the high-priced drugs they used actually had newer or older alternatives, and the prices of these alternatives were still very low, and these drugs were more effective. , the price was lower and was eliminated.
Pharmaceutical companies are consciously allowing people to choose high-priced drugs, especially those in developed countries. In many cases, they do not know that there are alternatives to high-priced drugs, and they can only spend a lot of money to buy the latest high-priced drugs.
As for low-priced drugs that are equally effective, doctors will not recommend them.
Just like no one knew that the retail price of the immune system drug Daraprim, which sold for US$750, was only less than one US dollar in the early days, although the unit was tablets.
After knowing this, many countries have directly experienced turmoil, especially America and Gaul. They are countries prone to turmoil, and there are always people who want to carry out zero-dollar purchases. The plan now gave them this opportunity, so the big purchase started suddenly.
It was the same process as every previous big purchase. First they went on the street normally, then someone started shouting and disturbing the crowd, then someone started throwing stones, and finally some people started attacking the supermarket. .
Everyone is so familiar with this set of procedures that they can even complete it with their eyes closed. However, this time their target was not a supermarket, but a drug store. As a result, they were exposed to the drug for the first time in history. Head-on confrontation.
The interests of pharmaceutical companies are much greater than those of manufacturers and sellers, and their interests are exclusive, so they are extremely tough in protecting their own interests. After the first pharmacy was smashed, they spent money to let those The drugstore had its own weapons, and then zero-yuan purchases turned into shooting across the street.
In the stores directly operated by pharmaceutical companies, this turned into a confrontation with light and heavy weapons, which also caused the total number of shootings in America to soar to last year's standards in one day.
In this case, those Jinyuan COPs simply stopped going to the streets because they were afraid of death.
"Why should we let this movie be released in our country! Or be released on the whole network? Is there anything wrong with your brains?"
Lucian looked at the Hollywood giants he had found and questioned them loudly!
After a long silence, an old man slowly opened his mouth, "Because we have money, the other party gave us money, and it was an amount of money that we couldn't refuse. Each theater chain had a screening fee of 500 million, plus the other party's We don’t want the theater chain’s revenue share. It can be said to be free money. Why don’t we want it? This money is more than what we make from making a blockbuster movie. Just 500 million in cash is enough for us to come forward!”
The old man leaned on the sofa, crossed his feet, and picked up a glass of red wine. "If it's not illegal and you get paid for free, if it's put in front of you, you decide whether you will do it or not! We are all Asians and Americans. Citizens of Liga, we will not refuse this kind of thing, you should understand this.”
These words made Lucian's face turn a little pale. He understood, of course he understood. In this country, everything is based on interests, and everything is done with interests in mind. What's wrong with this?
And according to the type of this film, not only is it right, it may also have merit, because this film talks about Zhu Xia's affairs, and at the same time it overturns the shameful face of the pharmaceutical company. It can be said that it is full of discussions and discussions on human rights. An exploration of life, if it were made in Hollywood, it would be an Oscar-winning film and a destined classic.
But the problem is that this movie was not made in Hollywood, and it was shot at the wrong time. During this period, the entire financial market was not calm, and there have been several meltdowns. This made Buffett, who has only seen six meltdowns in his life, I have seen it four times in the past ten days, and now there is a fifth circuit breaker, and it has only been ten days since the first time, including the two-day market closing period!
This made Lucian have to sleep with a bottle of nitric acid, glycerin, and oil tablets in his mouth every half an hour, otherwise he was afraid that he would have a heart attack and die suddenly.
There was no good news at all during this period. Even the people who had been sent to the island country had died a lot. This made many people express their dissatisfaction with him. If Lucian hadn't sent some people very quickly, In the past, he might have accepted the impeachment case.
So now Lucian is a flammable and explosive powder keg.
"Don't you know what impact this incident will have on our business? A new circuit breaker is coming. Don't you have any losses?"
Lucian found a new angle to criticize the opponent.
"Loss? What loss? You know I have cancer. A month ago, I was diagnosed with terminal liver cancer by the hospital. It has been determined that there is not much left to live. I will soon enter Mayo to receive experimental treatments. "
The old man who spoke said calmly.
"Oh, I'm sorry, Roman, but in this case, aren't you on the side of the pharmaceutical company? Their drugs can relieve your pain."
Lucian found every opportunity to say that his purpose was to keep the pharmaceutical company. The employees there were also the country's middle class, and the middle class was the main force of the country's tax payers. Lucian could not let them lose their jobs, otherwise they would be If something serious happens, the government's finances will go bankrupt.
This is something he doesn't allow. As the first person of color to become the great uncle of Xi Tiande, Lucian still has his own political ambitions, which is to leave his name in history, but financial bankruptcy is not what he wants. .
"Reducing pain" You mean to let me lie on the bed like those animals, letting people visit and manipulate me. If that's the case, I would rather die, live without dignity, I would rather die!"
Old Roman stood up like a tiger, "Lucian, don't you want to know why I did this? It's simple because I have gained dignity, human dignity, and they can let me die with dignity! Instead of lying down Waiting to die on the hospital bed! Do you understand? For a person who is destined to die, being able to choose his own death is something worth celebrating, and I can choose my own death, face death calmly, and let myself behave in a human way. Instead of leaving this world like those sick men who were treated like humans or ghosts and covered with diseases, I can guarantee that when I die, I will return to the Lord with glory. In my arms, how come you come and go back!"
After speaking, he crossed himself on his chest. Roman was a devout Catholic.
Lucian listened to his words with a puzzled look on his face, are cancer patients still so angry?
"What do you mean by honor?"
Honor means dignity in English, and colleagues also means honor and glory. At this time, Lucian was not sure what it meant, honor or dignity?
"It's dignity."
"They gave me honor pills three times a day, which allowed me to die as a normal person. I called this pill the dignity potion. You can't give me this kind of thing!"
Roman took out a bottle and inside it were some pills.
"This is honor, the drug of dignity, which can allow seriously ill patients to act like normal people. Do you think Pfizer has this?"
Roman looked at the medicine bottle with fascination on his face. This is his dignity. Don’t talk to him about money. Money is not as important as the medicine. Don’t talk to him about country. In America, countries are all It can be divided at any time, and this trend has already begun.
The reason why America has not been destroyed now is very simple, that is, this layer of skin is still very useful, the real people in power still need this layer of skin, and America's skin is still a deterrent to the whole world, tigers die. The power is still there.
They can also benefit from America's inertia of domination over the world.
But these are ineffective in front of old Roman, because he is about to die, but he does not want to die without dignity, and Zhuo Qun asked him to give him the enhanced version of Maiboluo capsule, which is the dignity potion, so that he can keep it The final dignity.
Die with dignity, which is important for a man who has held power for decades.
