SO true. Sadly, the "betterment of humanity" has been interpreted by
some as the increased acquisition of wealth for CEOs and stockholders
and turning medical journals, hospital, universities and governments
in tools of the marketing of drugs, regardless of their efficacy or
putative superiority to extant therapies.
That's the distortion that Tesla railed against.
And it is murdering millions of people, globally, every single day.

More than 70% of scientific research is funded by industry. What do
you think is the likelihood of their primary or even secondary goals
being 1) the betterment of humanity or 2) simply to line their own
pockets in any way they can?
Kinda puts the activities of the food industry, the pharmaceutical
industry and the medical industry into perspective.
