Pfizer has done a lot of harm...

A tornado heavily damaged a large Pfizer pharmaceutical plant in North Carolina on Wednesday, the latest in a string of extreme weather events plaguing the U.S. on a day when floods deluged communities in Kentucky and scorching heat smothered Phoenix and Miami.


Pharmaceutical company Pfizer confirmed that a large complex was damaged by a twister that tore through the Rocky Mount area, but said in an email that it had no reports of serious injuries at the facility.


The Pfizer plant stores large quantities of medicine that were tossed about by the storm, Nash County Sheriff Keith Stone said, adding, “I’ve got reports of 50,000 pallets of medicine that are strewn across the facility and damaged through the rain and the wind.”

Pfizer has done a lot of harm...

Not disputing this, but Pfizer makes the Eliquis that keeps me from having afib-related blood clots and stroke, and ending up suffering, demented, and/or comotose in a nursing home.

They now own one of the pharmaceuticals I take for thyroid. I hope they keep making this generic because the name-brand that they make and all the other generics for it, have ingredients and side effects that are problematic for me.

I'm not in the camp of Big Pharma Bad. While I'll never know this side of heaven how I derived all of my ailments over the course of my life, right now I'd be pushing up daisies if several of the meds I take didn't exist. I'm not gonna research who makes them, I'm just glad to have them.
