I had an interesting conversation with people who have a terrible opinion of pharmaceutical companies. They were convinced that they were a company that wiped out the human population. They didn't even want to hear my opinion. That's why I took the liberty of writing it here. As far as I know from history, without vaccines and medicines, man could hardly prolong life. I am not an advocate or a spokesperson. But my opinion is that the word medicine means to cure. Aren't medicines made from herbs or herbal or mineral teas? It was chemistry. Aren't these ingredients from our planet? Isn't the research done based on what can stop the causative bacteria? It took at least seven years to discover a drug. The discovery of a drug did not happen in a single year. Don't we live in the era of fast communications and fast computers? It's one thing to discover the formula; it's another thing to produce the drug itself. Don't the big companies have research centers? Don't they get government subsidies? Which politicians would vote to cut money to their constituents? What company would want to destroy its customers? There is no logic. I admit that if a drug helps one, it can harm another. Everyone organizes the reception differently, and therefore there are opportunities for problems. But, in general, not believing them is insulting. However, there is hope in this. Until we find ourselves in a situation where climate change and the melting of ice pose a threat, what diseases are we likely to encounter? Hygiene is the number-one factor. Healthy food is number two. Exercise and physical fitness are number three. But medicines will always be a necessary spare part of many people's lives. Let's hope we don't have to use them.
