When it comes to pharmaceutical drugs and Big Pharma, it’s not uncommon for people to raise an eyebrow at the trillion dollar industry. So, naturally, there are numerous conspiracy theories that focus on Big Pharma and the role that it plays in our economy and society. One of the most popular conspiracies is that Big Pharma is withholding cures for various diseases.

Some people believe that Big Pharma tries to keep people getting sick in order to keep the power that they have over the public, as well as the economic monopoly it has on the health industry. Although pharmaceutical companies would most likely make more money if they released the cures, people just love to hate them.
