How dare companies try to find a way so people don't get sick or die. The outrage! We should let nature take its course and have tens of millions die from a simple cold. Right now only about 50,000 people die each year, let's crank those numbers up and really drive the economy into a tailspin.
Umm, I think you have it backwards. Companies are in the game to make money. The pharma industry literally makes money from you being sick Seriously, take the rose tinted glasses off and have another look around.
