tl;dw: Johnson and Johnson is using a legal loophole to extend a patent on a life-saving drug, preventing generics from being made. Scientists estimate this will lead to 6 million more people dying of tuberculosis over the next four years, because they cannot afford the high-priced name-brand drug.
That's literally an entire Holocaust. It's not like I'm surprised but god damn the only difference between the 20th century fascists and modern western countries is that we have the thinnest veneer of deniability between us and the murders.
well the holocaust killed 11 million but yeah
True 6mil was just Jewish victims, and even 11mil leaves out the millions killed in the "holocaust of bullets" carried out by the German Army on the eastern front..
If you include Russian casualties on the front, it's closer to 40 million deliberately slaughtered people.
In the Soviet Union, if you enabled and helped the Nazis kill 50 million people, you got in trouble and sent to prison! Anne Applebaum told me all about it.
Engels figured out this little trick in 1845
Reminded that Michael Moore made this argument in some book, how both crack cocaine and the automobile companies destroyed lives in Detroit, but only one was illegal. He used to be pretty left.
