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.

      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.
