What the fuck kind of world are we living in?

I'm afraid we live in a world in which drug companies strive not to make drugs to improve health, but to make and market drugs to increase profit, full stop. Drugs that don't increase profit will be bought and buried, or destroyed otherwise.

So that's strong motive there for a deliberate release. Was Covid a product placement to expand a market?

A couple of years ago i'd thought that was far-fetched. Not getting that feeling now though.
