fun fact, the former commissioner of the FDA (Scott Gottlieb) is on Pfizer's board of directors.
Congrats! Here's to hoping he doesn't get an imflammed heart or brain, paralysis, blood clots or death. I wouldn't wish that upon anyone, unlike his company that thrust that upon the generally healthy population in order to make a buck.
J&J is a POS company. No one should buy their garbage, ever.
Oh dear , it's all starting to take shape now , right in front of us
Don't worry, they got away with it for decades. And nowadays, big pharma is protected better than ever. Plenty of time on his hands
Wow, that's sure a winning move by Tim The Bean Counter Cook. Bring in someone who's factory in Baltimore just actually got shut down by the Feds for manufacturing bad vaccines! Good one. I'm sure that'll improve Apple sales. NOT.
Apple is installing Gorsky on the board because he has deep medical-industry connections. Bottom-line: the man is attributed with securing an emergency authorization for an experimental vaccine (and revenue for years to come). The Apple rumor mill has been grinding for years about future Apple Watch enhancements, and Gorsky's credentials are very desirable when Apple is trying to get FDA certification for its wearables.
Considering J&J's continual denial they were causing cancer with their baby powder - and their continuing to manufacture it to sell in third world countries while producing a corn flower version for the US - should have disqualified their person from being on Apple's board. They will rue the day when this come back to bite them.
Not just children. Minorities were intentionally targeted by their advertising long after they knew their product contained asbestos (and they continued to deny it.) Adults were using the product as a part of their personal care routine, and there is hard evidence that using it anywhere near the genitals was a sure-fire way to increase your risk of ovarian cancer.
Wonder what impact it will have on Apple Watch and its health features.
There hasn't been a time in the past few decades that JNJ was out of the news about their products causing cancer or other harmful effects....
