Big Pharma has no desire to prevent any undesirable medical condition. Why would this big business want to stamp out its source of income (disease) ? Big Pharma has every desire to supply drugs which negate or suppress the effects of various medical conditions. This requires people with money to continuously pay for such scientific products. Poor people dont have money.
Aside from suppressing, they also create and make money on the issues on which can be solved immediately. Nicotine is a simple one…they own tons of stock in the cigarette companies.
