Chapter 712 Ready to Slap in the Face
Professor Marit's crying in front of reporters quickly spread through major newspapers and TV.
Tang Jikede's heroic image, coupled with the doctor's being the most trustworthy and loving person in society, has once again triggered the whole of the United States by the help of those who are interested.
If Chen Xia is really unlucky, are those international pharmaceutical companies vampires? There is no doubt about this.
Using patent fortresses and raising selling prices is an objective thing. In capital society, everything is about money.
Not to mention the bad people in the 1980s, even in 2018, China would not still have a very popular movie "I Am Not a God of Medicine".
In fact, the three views of this movie are very unfair. The director and screenwriter are either stupid or bad.
Like Professor Marite, the whole movie deliberately conceals and ignores the R&D costs of pharmaceutical companies, and keeps the production costs alone.
Especially in order to create a plot conflict, international pharmaceutical companies were maliciously described as vampires, regardless of the lives and death of the people, and insisted on maintaining high drug prices.
The box office of billions represents the people's hearts, which means that most people agree with this view, that is, the drug prices should be cheaper, or pharmaceutical companies should open patents for free so that more people can afford medicine.
From the perspective of the people, is there anything wrong?
That’s right, the common people just want to take cheap medicine, they just want to save their lives, and it’s best to give it for free.
But from the perspective of pharmaceutical companies, this is of course a big mistake.
I open the patent and I authorize it for free. So what should I take for my pharmaceutical company? Where do I get the funds to continue the development of new drugs? Is the money from pharmaceutical companies blowing from the strong wind?
So what is the best solution?
In fact, it is just the government pays the bill. This is also a common practice in developed countries in Europe and the United States, especially for children's medication, which is almost completely free.
Because your government collects taxes, you have the responsibility and obligation to protect free compulsory education and a medical insurance system that benefits all citizens.
At least the national free medical insurance covers all children, right?
It's gone far.
Professor Marit kicked the ball back again, and the group of reporters once again surrounded the Huaguo and Xiangjiang teams.
Facing the reporters' long spears and short cannons, Chen Xia looked very calm:
"First, enterprises pursue profits, and reasonable profits can ensure the normal operation of enterprises and drug development. This is a normal behavior of a normal market economy, and there is no place to blame.
Second, if Professor Marit is really so great, why didn’t he reduce his surgery? As far as I know, Professor Marit’s charges for an organ transplant operation are at least $100,000 and up to $800,000.
Anti-rejection drugs, one pill a day is $50,000, but it costs more than $10,000 a year, but the cost of a surgery is dozens of times the cost of the medicine. Do you think it is reasonable?
Maybe he would say that surgery is the embodiment of his knowledge and the reasonable reward for mental labor. Then I would be surprised. Are medicines not part of the high-tech industry? Isn’t it a manifestation of knowledge? This double standard is very ridiculous.”
Wow~~~~
The real swords and guns came, and the reporters were excited, and Chen Xia was very tricky in this angle.
The cost of medicine is expensive, but in European and American countries, doctors' income is even more top-notch, definitely exceeding the average public and are a high-income group.
The people are ignorant. They have not seen how many years or how much money it takes to train a medical student, nor have they seen the hard work the doctors have put in for it.
They only have one idea. Anyway, if you have more money, you are a black-hearted ghost, and you are guilty. This is the typical "hate of the rich".
Marit can guide the public to hate pharmaceutical companies, but Chen Xia can also guide the public to hate doctors. Anyway, his main purpose is to confuse water.
What reporters like the most is this controversial topic, and the flash is clattering again.
At this time, a reporter asked anxiously: "Mr. Chen, as far as I know, you are also a doctor. Don't you think doctors should get a higher income? What you know is that your colleagues know, does it feel like betrayal?"
OK, the reporter from Mold Country is so sharp, but it is hard to say whether it was arranged by Johnson Pharmaceutical.
Faced with this kind of proposition, how could Chen Xia be so rare?
"No, no, no, doctors get a reasonable reward, which is natural, so I am not against doctors getting high incomes, but against some doctors taking the bribes from relevant interest groups in the name of justice, which harms the interests of the people."
Another reporter asked:
"Mr. Chen, can I understand that you think that Professor Marit's systematic behavior is for certain capital and has benefited, not for the patient's perspective?"
Chen Xia shrugged: "I didn't say anything, it's all you said."
Regardless of whether you have said it or not, the media titles the next day are:
"Chinese doctors suspect that Marit accepted commercial bribes", "Marit really considers the people?", "Shocking, the dispute between patents becomes a dispute between capital"
These days, people in the Mellown country have to eat enough to eat, and they feel that the dark side of the medical world is being exposed bit by bit by bit by bit by bit by bit.
The big guys in the medical field can't sit still.
Everyone is a thousand-year-old fox. What are you playing in Stories from a Chinese Studio?
There were hundreds of doctors who went to China to visit the two doctors to teach the surgery, and they were distributed in major hospitals. Everyone knows whether the surgery was successful or not. What should I deny?
Finally, it is even more despicable to propose a patent acquisition. What do you want to do with a medical association? Who are you going to authorize to?
This clearly destroys the rules of the game, breaks the good interactive relationship and interest transfer between doctors and pharmaceutical companies.
Pumpkin Vine Pharmaceuticals, Pfizer Pharmaceuticals, GlaxoSmithKline, Japan Takeda Pharmaceuticals, and Switzerland Novartis Pharmaceuticals have contacted major pharmaceutical companies during this period.
Everyone used their relationships to remotely command their respective chess pieces and began to attack the International Organ Transplant Association.
For a time, the medical circle was "intravenous".
But to this day, Marit is still quite confident. As long as he and Johnson's International Organ Transplant Conference do not recognize it, Pumpkin Vine's anti-rejection drugs will not be able to enter the mold country market normally.
Now that things are getting bigger, they don’t care whether they can get patents, but they want to destroy these patents and make Pumpkin Vine lose the trust and support of the people in the dispute.
Everyone has a small plan, but Chen Xia is already upset about all this.
Some arrogant and bad media are not friendly to Chinese people, so there are gradually more press releases attacking Pumpkin Vine.
The bad-skin must be helping others, which is understandable.
So Chen Xia saw that most public opinion supported and sympathized with Professor Marit, and portrayed him as a "hero of bad country" or a "spirit of bad country", a symbol of freedom, resistance, and fairness.
Chen Xia took action.
Who won’t be a slap in the face?
