Bring miracles are you being sarcastic here what was the last major disease that actually got a cure via big pharma. 

Keep trivializing the achievements of pharmaceutical research scientists from the "big bad" pharma companies ... 

Downplaying when you yourself probably don't have any scientific skills to conduct the clinical trials is just a show of cowardice. The people who waste the vast majority of their lives trying to find drug candidates to give hope for the ill are the most virtuous and deserve to be compensated as much as possible yet are now classified as pariahs. Your social democrat hero, Bernie Sanders can't do shit to save lives compared to "big pharma" so #DealWithIt ... 

I already gave you a previous example with Gilead Sciences which is almost valued $100B in market cap and they brought a cure for Hepatitis C a little under 5 years ago which effects several dozen millions of people each year or is that somehow not "major" enough for you ? (if the drug hadn't been brought out into the market there would've been many more fatalities caused by chronic Hepatits C infections which would've developed into liver cancer and the patients at that point had to face the prospects of a compatible organ donor along with the possibility of a transplant rejection) 

We'll soon have gene therapies for Hemophilia which is a fairly notable disease no thanks to "big bad pharma" ...
