Is Pharma Still Hated While Doing Good Work?

Reed Hastings says pharma is hated by the general public and, in his eyes, is continuing to do amazing and positive work. People hate the high drug prices, and pharma is deeply hated. Friends in pharma, scientists and doctors, have to get used to the hatred, continue to make progress, and accept it. They have never really been able to change the public view.

The companies made the COVID vaccine in a year, a remarkable achievement. People did not fall in love with the companies.

Tech people were once cast as heroes, and the image is now villainous, quite villainous. Neither view is true. Tech has gone to the natural state. Banking leaders are thought of as villainous. Pharma leaders are thought of as villainous. Airline leaders are thought of as villainous. Villainous is the natural state of how much of the public thinks about business.
