Big Pharma

Big Pharma

This world has become divided on what we believe.
Should we trust more in science and roll up our sleeve?

What is the truth, how can, we be sure?
Is this vaccine going to kill us, or is it the cure?

Is big pharma a threat, are they trying to take control?
Will their drugs save us or destroy us, what is their goal?

I’ve taken medication for the past eleven years.
They have kept me alive and helped with my fears.

Big pharma saved my life, I guess the question is why?
If there was some big conspiracy, wouldn’t they just let us die?

Thirty minutes of cpr, two stints and a knife
A room full of strangers with drugs, saved my life.

Go visit a hospital, take a good look around.
You will see plenty of loved ones, those drugs keep above ground.

Medicine will keep you home, warm and safe in your bed.
Without science and technology, many of us would be dead.



* I'm not trying to belittle any beliefs that people may have, I'm just voicing my own opinion. *

Love this. So true. The vaccine has so many people worried, but I have taken it without incident. I believe it's meant to save us, not harm us. God bless you. Love, Gina

I agree with you, Mark. I know the inner workings of drug companies, but if faced with death, I'd never refuse to pay the price for my life and the health of loved ones.

Exactly, they are out to make money that is no secret. It's a price I'm willing to pay. That is why we have insurance.
