Chris Rock - Doctors & Drugs

[@gloku9742]

I've always found it funny how comedians are the ones in showbiz who speak the most truth

[@spygre]

Very true... nice play on words b t w

[@jasonbourne6365]

Because only Jesters were allowed to speak truth or clown the King.

[@SycosenMerihem]

*The only ones who speak truth

[@loopsruby]

Go Ku It is called observational comedy.

[@yungsith1368]

Go Ku using comedy to deflect. Make people thinks its funny before thinking its serious.

"That's how a drug dealer makes his money" A more accurate quote couldn't describe the drug companies any better.

[@Chamblezin1]

The comeback

[@dalehood1846]

Absolutely!

[@jasjfl]

Chris was half right. AIDS can be functionally cured nowadays. But yeah you have to take a drug cocktail for the rest of your life. Coming up with a cure for a viral infection actually makes perfect financial sense as long as you don’t eliminate the virus from the population entirely. If you have the cure you have no competition and there will be a steady supply of people who need it.

[@stryfetc1471]

Dang everything Chris says is just the same then as it is now. These jokes haven't aged.

[@CoolGent87]

Ariana Bignal Real talk

[@benh9935]

GDI How is he lying? His points aren't completely accurate but the message remains the same. Corporate greed. Pharmaceutical companies that jack up the prices of drugs 500% for more profit. Even life saving drugs. Just look at Martin Shkreli and Valeant.

[@michaeldemarco5160]

Please repeat big pharma's policy, " A patient cured, is a customer lost"

[@ThePallidor]

Now consider that in the context of what's happening now. Really think pharma's gonna give you something that makes sure you *don't* get sick? Rather than something that ensures you do? All about dat comeback. This is also why the food and drug companies are joining forces, even merging, and the same agency that regulates the food also regulates the drugs. They have a well-oiled system for making sure they have plenty of customers for life, and they've put every ounce of PR and lobbying and "science funding" into making us all think it's the best thing ever.

Can't cure aids cos HIV constantly mutates

[@dmetv3667]

It's hard FACTS...they got commercials out now telling the public exactly what drug to buy so they can live life with AIDS in 2019.

[@mangot589]

Well, maybe they don’t cure it, but I remember when it first came out, and at least it’s not an automatic death sentence anymore. And even when they DO come out with a vaccine, the anti-vaxxers will demonize it, by saying it’s poison, or it encourages SEX😱 in teenagers, gays, people in general, or whomever. We actually HAVE a vaccine for a certain type of cancer, but since a lot of the cases ARE sexually transmitted are the parents giving to their kids? Naw. Even though since time began people have been praying for a way to stop cancer🤷‍♀️. And since time began, no matter HOW rigid the ideals, punishments, outcastings, people, teens still are going to have sex.

@MrTron Of course there a fortune. Only in medicine do they charge diabetics a $1000 a bottle for insulin. Unless...you have insurance. So if you have diabetes..you better not be poor and uninsured. I can only imagine what a cancer cure would cost....just to LIVE. While nothing is free...no one profits off pain and misery like the medical field.

Catie Mac Heart disease, diabetes, even some cancers are lifestyle diseases. If we ate 100% unprocessed foods from the earth, no sugar, minimal to no saturated animal fats, no weird chemicals and pesticides, and got regular exercise and adequate rest on a regular basis, we would DRASTICALLY reduce our chances of getting sick. But that takes tremendous discipline and most people are lazy and would rather have a doctor “cure” them while they continue to eat poison and sit on their ass, instead of taking responsibility for their health.

In fact some have gone as far as to say the main goal of Big Pharma is actually to keep everyone ill, not make everyone better. But you try telling most people that...It IS COMMON SENSE that people will not want to lose money....and it is common sense that curing diseases rather than permanently treating them will lose someone money.....So why oh why oh why would any company ever want to cure anything.....They wouldn't...And when you realize that you can start to take back your health.
