Care to quote your sources for this claim?
While not perfect we have some of the most intense drug testing in the world. Typically 3 phases and 100's of millions of dollars to bring a drug to market. Our life expectancy has increased in part due to "big pharma". Meds like TPA (clot buster) have saved many lives, yet have also killed a few.
Some side effects cannot be known until millions of doses have been given. There is not a study big enough to catch them. Then the lawyers get rich off a 1 in 500,000,000 adverse effect.
I give the companies cudos for the research and effort they put into making the human condition better.
I guess you suppose physicians keep their patients ill to keep them coming in to see them too?
