Merck won.

PWP lost. Again.

Merck demonstrated to all of Pharma that there is zero risk in stonewalling the medical hostages who have no other choice for treatment of a fatal illness.

The decision to pull the plug, as with Amgen, can be made in the complete absence of the only consumers of the drug, and in complete disregard of their health and their hearts.

Way to go, big men. You won again. Grave strategic errors.

If God finds his way back to heaven, and decides to make it all right in the world,
the people who mistreat the suffering
will get what they deserve.

Big Pharma does not believe there are consequences.
There are.
They have summoned up a mighty storm..

It may take years.
But nothing survives that is cruel to fellow mankind.
It may take years, it may take decades, but there is no getting away, there is no exemption from the consequences of riding roughshod over the defenceless, no matter how well your stocks do in Q3.
