Oklahoma suing Johnson & Johnson

lundi 22 juillet 2019 à 02:00

Oklahoma is suing Johnson & Johnson for aggressively promoting sales of fentanyl.

I think it is wrong to aggressively promote sales of any medical treatment. We must establish that corporations are not entitled to human rights, so that they can't claim they have a "human right" to publicize medicines. But the issue goes beyond advertising. We must require drug companies to include "serving patients" alongside "making money" as their responsibilities, and require participation of patient representatives in business decisions about medicines.
