    The shareholders of the pharma-industry will not be happy. You have to manage a disease, not heal it; that would be detrimental for the balance sheet.

    And unhappy shareholders of big pharma is definitely not what we want; if they are happy, we will be happy.

      I’m very anti-pharma myself (depression is not a chemical imbalance, and pills can’t solve it. Changing lifestyle factors can.) but if your statement were true they wouldn’t have made this vaccine in the first place.

          I did, and both going outside and choosing to not be depressed were important pieces to the puzzle that allowed me to move beyond depression.
