How then do you explain the numerous off-patent drugs that are currently in widespread production by the major drug companies?

Imagine that you are creating a new patented drug that you could charge a lot and the whole govts in the world needed.

Then have this other drug without patent that could do the same? or 80%?

People got enraged about the Epi-Pen patent price gouging years back imagine what would happen if some rigorous study confirm that ivermectin is as good as or better?

This is a sample on how media distorts the narrative.
