Skeptical Optimist Intervention Needed
I watched half of it before I had to stop because I was rolling my eyes so hard
It costs money to develop drugs. The only reason we have amazing innovations like Ozempic is because of the motive for profit.

So we have a choice:
- Have amazing, innovative drugs that help millions of people and enable companies to reap the profits from selling those drugs
- Not have amazing, innovative drugs because we don't want companies to make a profit

The second somebody somebody uses the "They put profits over patients" line about a company that spends tens of billions of dollars on R&D - most of that for drugs that will never end up being sold on the market - I automatically tune them out. That person doesn't understand basic economic principles.
