The God of Wealth: Her Top Game of Thrones

Chapter 1285 The Blogger Speaks Out

Especially given that Edmund was not the head of the Vanderbilt family.

To be honest, if Edmund were the head of the Vanderbilt family, Tang Tang wouldn't mind having an even closer relationship with them.

Unfortunately, Edmund is still too young.

The current head of the Vanderbilt family is the current president of the United States, Edmund's uncle.

The presidency is influenced by so many things; sometimes it seems prestigious, but in reality, it doesn't offer much freedom.

This is precisely why Tang Tang doesn't want to have too close a relationship with the Vanderbilt family.

Edmund is 18 years old, and his future is uncertain. There's no need to rush. Who knows what will happen in the future?

Tang Tang never intended to stand with anyone.

She wants to maintain absolute independence in the US region; cooperation is fine, but alliances are not.

Capital and politics are too closely intertwined in the US. Tang Tang's future does not lie in the US. As the future leader of an independent sovereign nation, her identity should not be too deeply intertwined with these capitalists.

Edwin could only accept it in the end, saying, "If the conversation you're expecting happens."

Tang Tang smiled faintly, "As long as our speculation is correct, my prediction will most likely come true as scheduled."

As for whether her guess is correct or not, let's wait and see.

……

The news that Mr. Reginald Croft, the head of Noah Pharmaceuticals and a well-known billionaire, was attacked during a banquet and taken to the hospital by ambulance, and whose condition remains unknown, was quickly reported by the media.

Perhaps not everyone knows who Reginald Croft is, but the name Noah Pharmaceuticals is familiar even to many people in the lower strata of American society.

In the US, medications are regulated, including some anti-inflammatory and cold medicines.

However, there are also quite large sizes of painkillers available in the US, with some tubs containing thousands of pills, and they are extremely cheap. You can even buy them at small shops on the street without going to a pharmacy.

Some painkillers contain addictive substances, and many people in impoverished areas of the United States will subconsciously choose to abuse painkillers when they are injured or feeling unwell.

Rational and knowledgeable people may be able to exercise restraint, but many people who are not familiar with common sense or are in unbearable pain will take large amounts of painkillers and eventually become addicted to them.

This kind of painkiller is very difficult to quit, and it almost always ends up like drug addiction, which leads to the aforementioned vicious cycle, causing people to go from being decent middle-class to going bankrupt and becoming homeless.

The scariest thing is that if you have a decent job and a car accident causes you to be hospitalized with a broken bone, even a doctor at a reputable hospital might just prescribe painkillers.

If you're not so lucky, you might become addicted after just a few times.

The pharmaceutical company that manufactures the most widely sold inexpensive painkiller on the market is Noah Pharmaceuticals.

Therefore, many people have begun to discuss the attack on Reginald and the fact that his fate is unknown. Some more extreme people have even started to gloat online, saying that top pharmaceutical groups like Noah Pharmaceuticals are just profiting from human suffering.

However, what he said is not wrong.

The three major pharmaceutical companies monopolize 90% of all kinds of drugs and medical devices in the United States. They control raw materials and prices, and have absolute power in the entire medical system, making a fortune.

But many people in the US simply cannot afford medical care or medication. The medications they can afford are the cheaper versions sold by the three major pharmaceutical companies.

The therapeutic effects are almost nonexistent, and many are even addictive.

The Reginald case sparked heated discussions, with many media outlets and netizens beginning to debate it, and the fire was then spread to two other pharmaceutical companies.

Soon, Telos Labs, which gained fame for its first-generation anti-cancer drug, was also brought up. However, Tang Tang had always had a good image in the US, so the discussions about Telos Labs and Tang Tang were relatively friendly.

Some well-known foreign bloggers have also posted videos about the inability to buy Telos's first-generation cancer drug in the US.

"This is truly beyond my comprehension!"

The blogger in the video looked doubtful and displeased, saying, "Telos's first-generation anti-cancer drug has already been officially launched in China and the UK, and the Chinese government has even included it in the national medical insurance program!"

"Telos Labs' data, drug testing, certificates... all these crucial core documents were clearly tested and approved in the US. The US should clearly be Telos Labs' first choice!"

"But why aren't Telos's cancer drugs available in the US? Why can most ordinary people only afford cheap painkillers?"

"This is all because of the monopoly of the three major pharmaceutical companies... and of course, certain damn institutions... They want to make money from drugs, make money! Their desires are terrifyingly insatiable. Like Telos Labs' cancer drugs, many affordable and useful drugs cannot reach us."

"This is so disappointing!"

The video received countless likes and shares, its popularity surpassing even the news of Reginald's attack, and it immediately topped the trending searches.

Tang Tang's eyes widened slightly as she looked at the blogger; anyone who didn't know better would have thought this blogger was a paid shill she had hired.

But in reality, this blogger posted the video voluntarily. Tang Tang clicked on the blogger's homepage and discovered that she was a very famous human rights and pacifist.

Many of her previous videos have spoken out about issues such as the wealth gap, basic medical care, and relief systems. This drug incident is clearly one of her spontaneous choices.

Tang Tang has to say she admires her. This blogger is named Nita, a Caucasian woman who has worked as a volunteer in Africa for two years and participated in many marches. Many of her videos have received a lot of likes and shares.

It's important to understand that while the US is indeed a country with free speech, it's also a country where you can "perfectly commit suicide."

Sometimes, people who jump too high or have too much influence are assassinated, and then the cause of death is fabricated and they are physically eliminated.

This blogger is still alive and kicking, which clearly means they have a good family background.

Otherwise, he would probably have died silently long ago.

Although it was an accident, it must be said that the blogger's guess was indeed correct.

The reason why first-generation anti-cancer drugs have been slow to obtain sales approval in the United States is because the three major pharmaceutical companies are at the forefront.
