I'm not saying Big Pharma isn't evil. They are evil. Very evil. Just not in the ways that most people think they are. Their evil is mostly in the way they manipulate what research gets done and what research gets published and what drugs get approved. The direct-to-consumer advertising is quite benign in comparison. It's the direct-to-doctor advertising and the grant-funding to researchers that you SHOULD be worried about.
