This ignores the very nature of pharmaceutical research and development.

Pharmaceutical companies arenโ€™t really research institutes, because research and development is terribly expensive. The primary research of just about any major drug innovation is typically first pioneered by Universities who are publicly funded.

A Pharmaceutical companyโ€™s version of research and development is taking the primary research done by universities and developing them into a drug that is patent protected.

There is a ton of rat fucking in pharmaceutical companies that lead people to this type of conspiratorial thought, but most of it is pertaining to patent law, not dictating what a bunch of grad students are doing their research over.
