Default pharma profits

and once again, as Harold Brody notes in his book "Hooked. Ethics, the Medical Profession, and the Pharmaceutical Industry (London, Boulder: Rowan & Littlefield Publishers, Inc., 2007)
the pharmaceutical Industry represents 2 percent (2%) of all the companies listed in the Fortune 500 (there are 10 pharma cos in the top 500 of these companies) but accounts for 52 percent (52%)of the profits reported by all these companies... (p.57)
