What Financial Mail readers are saying about our stories

The resources that are ploughed into developing “blockbuster medicines”, without certainty of success, are colossal. I’m interested in whether these drugs make any difference to the incidence of heart attacks and, if so, to what quantifiable extent. The conflict of interest here is that pharma companies make drugs and market them with gigantic marketing budgets with the aim of making money. At the end of the day, they want to sell their drugs to make money. I want to know the quantifiable facts behind the benefits of these drugs — not some marketing mumbo-jumbo or spin from snake oil salesmen - Afro Juju
