Already their drugs are very costly.
This is high time to consider discounts for the loyal customers all around the world.

It surprises me that a pharmaceutical company has decided to relinquish the usual avarice of Big Pharma, in this apparently "humane gesture" toward poor blacks.

Most poor blacks will not know that all pharmaceuticals (drugs) produce Side effects. Side effects means that the drugs are doing something to harm your body.

If I was one of the extremely highly paid Pfizer marketing people, I would perhaps come up with an idea to: (i) win favour from the Black community by apparently seeming to provide a valuable and beneficial service for free to Black people, while (ii) ensuring I was creating a greater possibility to sell more drugs due to (a) increasing knowledge of the various drugs for sale to common people who would otherwise not know or hear about all these "wonderful" drugs and (b) convincing more people, people who don't read or research very much, to think of the drugs company as a "beneficial" friend.

If Pfizer truly cared for Black people, Pfizer would provide free education about prevention. Prevention of getting ill in the first place. Such things as hygiene, proper eating and sleeping habits. Such things as drugs (street and legal) harm any person's health. But, of course, historically Black American people have been the continual victims of drugs makers and sellers.

Because Blacks neither make money from "inventing", nor from marketing, nor from selling drugs -- because Black people have not traditionally engaged in what is basically a right wing, money making, oligopoly.

So, who better to off load a whole mountain of drugs on which are about to go out of data otherwise?

Free? "New market for ...". Hook You On Drugs. Drugs are the solution. You need drugs. Use drugs, especially if you are Black. Big Pharma needs for you to take drugs. Drug selling profits currently run near 6000% -- who is gaining? Who is losing?

So, do Pfizer truly care for your health? Or do Pfizer care only that you consume their drugs -- whether this is good for you or not?

Let's face facts: The Drugs trade is worth trillions of dollars, every year. And it is not Black people making this money. The street corner hoodlum, "Drug Dealer", who you see on street corners selling drugs hooking young Black kids -- does not have the education nor does he have the intelligence to put the molecules together that make those mind bending, body busting, life wrecking poisons that he pushes.

Wow!

Josh Franks, yours is a thoroughly thought provoking comment.

Oh, by the way, you misspelled the word "date" you wrote: "So, who better to off load a whole mountain of drugs on which are about to go out of data otherwise?"

Data ... date.

Otherwise, a truly observed comment.
