More astonishing is Pfizer's offer to buy AstraZeneca... for $119bn.

That's like the GDP of Kansas, or Vietnam

It was rejected today  with little hope of Pfizer bidding again :( . It would have made the largest pharma company in the world. The HQ would have been in New York, but the company would be based in the UK because the corportate tax there is a lot lower. 

Larger pharmaceutical companies is the LAST thing we need. They are the greediest most selfish business sector there is
