Yes, medical institutions have funded research that led to advancements, but it’s vital to remember that this coin has two sides. The other side is riddled with profit motives, corruption, and downright harmful practices. 💉💊
For every genuine breakthrough, there’s a slew of questionable studies funded by Big Pharma looking to push their next blockbuster drug, regardless of the long-term effects on human health. Look at the opioid crisis, where the very institutions meant to heal ended up causing immense suffering and addiction. 💊🛑
It's a mixed bag, sure. But we need to sift through it with a critical mindset. Good intentions can’t sugarcoat the reality that modern medicine is often more about profits than patients. Just because something is funded, doesn't mean it's free from bias or ulterior motives.
