How Big Pharma Reacted to Russia's Ukraine Invasion

Many big companies had to make tough choices.

This piece looks at how top drug makers reacted. It's not just about what they said. It's about what they did.

Pharmaceutical Companies: Life-Savers or Profit-Makers?

Pharmaceutical companies are huge. They make life-saving drugs. But they also make big money.

So, what happens when war breaks out?

• Some companies spoke out.
• Others stayed quiet.
• A few even pulled out of Russia.
• But most kept doing business as usual.

Why Did They Act This Way?

It's not simple.

• Some said they had to stay. They had workers and patients there.
• Others said they didn't want to fund the war.
• But money talks. And Russia is a big market.

Power and Responsibility

This isn't just about one war. It's about power.

Big companies have a lot of it. They can shape what happens in the world.

But do they use that power for good? Or do they look out for themselves first?

The Human Cost

Think about it.

When war happens, who suffers?

• It's not the rich.
• It's the people.
• The ones who can't afford to leave.
• The ones who rely on medicine to live.

Big Pharma has a choice. They can help. Or they can turn away.
