    Doubt it. Privatization’s all about making money, and making people skeptical of big pharma means that big pharma gets less money. Think of how pissed off the people making money off tylenol must have been when it was “linked to autism”

    I view medicial conspiracy more as a tool to gain political power. Create discourse by spreading bs, then rally the people who fell for it so you get more votes. Pretty common Russia tactic, iirc.

      That’s their motive, sticking it to big pharma

        Well, there’s sticking it to big pharma, and then there’s…dying to ivermectin because someone read it cured covid online. Some overlap between the two groups to be sure, but I think the underlying motivations are a bit different
