Is There Any “Benefit” to the Catastrophe ?
..........................................
   
   - Medical errors are the third leading cause of death in the U..S., after 
heart disease and cancer.
   - The pharma-driven opioid epidemic caused drug overdose deaths to 
skyrocket, with the financial cost of the opioid epidemic from 2015-18 at $2.5 
trillion, not to mention the human cost of over 500,000 lives;
   - The pharmaceutical industry paid $35.7 billion in penalties to federal and 
state governments in recent years for a wide range of illegal activities. 
Despite civil and criminal fines, no pharma senior executive has gone to jail. 
Fines were simply the cost of doing business.
   - The federal government failed to hold corporate actors accountable in the 
aftermath of the 2008 recession, with a sole executive sent to jail. People 
lost homes, livelihoods, businesses, pensions and suffered for a decade.
   -    

The COVID-19 virus has played a stunning role, shifting public perceptions 
almost overnight, lifting up the sectors that had been just months ago at the 
bottom.
