The multinational drug companies, supposedly in competition, but who have interlocking interests and personnel, and who operate a revolving door with their supposed regulatory agencies, now long since captured.

Big pharma is a shorthand for referring to the large pharmaceutical companies.

Official narrative

Wikipedia has an article entitled Big Pharma conspiracy theory which, as the title suggests, . Most concerns around big pharma are illegitimate.

Advertising

Advertising and marketing is so important to big pharma that "9 out of the top 10 industry leaders spend more on marketing than on research and development", while some commercially-controlled media writers like to point at R&D and trials as the cause of high prices. (Pfizer addresses the question of high prices on its website, but does not really answer it)

Legal cases of note

Those who are adversely affected by medications, even when not warned about them on the label, were determined in a 5-4 decision by the US Supreme Court not to be liable to financial compensation.

Lobbying

Big Pharma spends much more on governmental lobbying and "public relations" than any other industry.

Manipulation of studies

Pharma companies manipulate studies for publication by choosing and excluding parameters beforehand, thus framing the findings:

• the medication will be tested against another one, from which is known, that it is inferior in it's effectiveness
• the medication will be tested against another one, which is administered in lesser dosage than to be effective
• the medication will be tested against another one, which is administered in higher dosage to let the own medication appear less toxic
• the formulation of questions beforehand will be done in such a way, that positive results are guaranteed
• only positive results will be publicized, which may be clinical endpoints like: survival time, pain relief, blood pressure - but relative risk or absolute risk may not not change and are not mentioned
• adverse reaction from vaccines is by and in large caused by adjuvants; control studies with a "placebo" are done with the same adjuvants without the pathogen, to show that side effects are equally on both sides

Journeyman Pictures: Perspectives on the Pandemic - The Illusion of Evidence Based Medicine — "As much of the world rushes to receive a lightly-tested pharmaceutical product, we thought it was high time to look again at the (very) big business of medicine. Leemon McHenry, PhD, guides us to the fraudulent core of ghostwritten studies, captured legislators, revolving-door regulatory agencies, pay-to-play medical journals, and the "key opinion leaders" who lend their academic credentials to giant corporations...for a price."

In 2015, Richard Horton, editor of the prestigious medical journal the Lancet, wrote bluntly of these problems. A symposium—on the reproducibility and reliability of biomedical research, held at the Wellcome Trust in London discussed "one of the most sensitive issues in science today: the idea that something has gone fundamentally wrong with one of our greatest human creations." Pointing out that "part of the problem is that no-one is incentivised to be right. Instead, scientists are incentivized to be productive and innovative" he also stated:

“Much of the scientific literature, perhaps half, may simply be untrue. Afflicted by studies with small sample sizes, tiny effects, invalid exploratory analyses, and flagrant conflicts of interest, together with an obsession for pursuing fashionable trends of dubious importance, science has taken a turn towards darkness.”
Richard Horton (2015) 

Dr. Marcia Angell, a physician and was longtime Editor-in-Chief of the New England Medical Journal (NEMJ), considered to be another one of the most prestigious peer-reviewed medical journals in the world, has made similar observations:

“It is simply no longer possible to believe much of the clinical research that is published, or to rely on the judgment of trusted physicians or authoritative medical guidelines. I take no pleasure in this conclusion, which I reached slowly and reluctantly over my two decades as an editor of the New England Journal of Medicine.”
Marcia Angell (2009)

"COVID-19/Vaccine"	“We need to be careful, as it's obvious pharmaceutical companies wish to make a profit and would like to keep always selling vaccines for everyone. But we need to prioritise; we need to know if they're needed or not. (We need to) not be subordinated to Big Pharma dictating us: "we need a third dose", "we need a fourth", "we need to vaccinate children".”	Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador	July 2021
COVID-19/Resistance	“I have done my bit and been vaccinated because we were told that was the route to protect others and regain our freedoms. Neither was correct. I will not allow my perfectly healthy body to become a cash cow for Pfizer.”	Allison Pearson	9 December 2021
John le Carré	“Big Pharma is also engaged in the deliberate seduction of the medical profession, country by country, worldwide. It is spending a fortune on influencing, hiring and purchasing academic judgement to a point where, in a few years' time, if Big Pharma continues unchecked on its present happy path, unbought medical opinion will be hard to find.”	John le Carré
Event 201	“[M]y team has been monitoring the public response. And on various social media channels and cable networks, there's been some conspiracy theories that are around about the potential that pharmaceutical companies or the UN have released this for their own benefit... if conspiracy theories like this come up already, so we are on the edge of hysterical reactions.”		18 October 2019
Anthony Fauci	“Guys like Fauci get up there and start talking, and he doesn’t know anything really about anything, and I’d say that to his face. Nothing. He doesn’t understand electron microscopy and he doesn’t understand medicine... Most of those guys up there on the top are just total administrative people and they don’t know anything about what’s going on with the bottom. You know, those guys have got an agenda, which is not what we would like them to have, being that we pay for them to take care of our health in some way... They’ve got a personal kind of agenda. They make up their own rules as they go. They change them when they want to and a smugly like Tony Fauci does not mind going on television in front of the people, face out, and lie directly into the camera.”	Anthony Fauci Kary Mullis
Mae-Wan Ho	“What makes genetic engineering biotechnology dangerous, in the first instance, is that it is an unprecedented, close alliance between two great powers that can make or break the world: science and commerce. Practically all established molecular geneticists have some direct or indirect connection with industry, which will set limits on what the scientists can and will do research on, not to mention the possibility of compromising their integrity as independent scientists. . The worst aspect of the alliance is that it is between the most reductionist science and multinational monopolistic industry at its most aggressive and exploitative. If the truth be told, it is bad science working together with big business for quick profit, aided and abetted by our governments for the banal reason that governments wish to be re-elected to remain in ‘power.’”	Mae-Wan Ho	1997
Ivermectin	“I want to bring attention to two critical deficits in our national treatment response that has made this hearing necessary in the first place. Besides the early interest and research into hydroxychloroquine, we can find no other significant efforts to research the use of any other already existing, safe, low-cost therapeutic agents. Seemingly the only research and treatment focus that we have observed on a national scale is with novel or high-cost pharmaceutically engineered products”	Dr. Pierre Kory	December 2020
Robert F. Kennedy Jr	“Newspapers and electronic media outlets have suppressed legitimate debate over vaccine safety or the ongoing corruption scandals at the CDC. They allow ...Pharma shills almost unlimited use of the airwaves to spout Pharma propaganda—always unquestioned and unanswered. Newspapers won’t publish Op Eds or letters or comments from vaccine safety advocates. Even alternative press—like Huffington Post, Drudge Report, Salon, Slate and Mother Jones won’t allow discussion—and these are supposedly the antidote to a corporate controlled media. Astonishingly, many journalists openly advocate the censoring of any discussion about vaccine safety...The media’s silence on this issue is not simply a quid pro quo for billions of dollars of annual pharmaceutical advertising. Most reporters and media outlets accept the muzzle because they think they are safeguarding public health. They believe that allowing debate about vaccine safety and CDC corruption may cause the public to stop vaccinating.”	Robert F. Kennedy Jr	2015
Christian Perronne	“The problem with all the drug [regulatory] agencies in the world—the FDA in the United States, the European Medical Agency, the French drug agency—they all say “No, hydroxychloroquine doesn’t work; azithromycin doesn’t work; ivermectin doesn’t work,” despite many, many published proofs that they work. Because if they acknowledge that they do work, it’s impossible for them to market their so-called “vaccines”. That’s the only reason; it’s a marketing reason.”	Christian Perronne	13 August 2021
Hugo López-Gatell Ramírez	“There's a powerful public opinion campaign induced by Big Pharma. If one explores the national and international press, and traces recommendations like these, one can perceive an important lack of scientific information to support these kind of recommendations. And by contrast there are statements by Big Pharma executives that already take it for granted.”	Hugo López-Gatell Ramírez	July 2021
Malcolm Roberts	“It’s called the largest ever wealth transfer from taxpayers to globalist corporations - in this case Big Pharma. As usual, govt is the middle man & the means of extracting money from taxpayers. Legal yet immoral.”	Malcolm Roberts	7 August 2021
Horst Seehofer	“Reporter: Does this mean that the lobby was really so strong then, the pharmaceutical lobby against politics, and you had to pull back, so to speak. Horst Seehofer: Yes that is so, has been the case for 30 years, until the present moment, that meaningful structural changes, in the sense of a more social market economy, are not possible in the German health care system because of the resistance of the lobby associations. [...] Horst Seehofer: I can only describe to you that this is so and it works very effectively. Reporter: But it can not be that the industry is stronger than politics, so at the end of the day, it has to be the politics that is in the position to say no, that's not how it works. Horst Seehofer: I can not disagree with that.”	Horst Seehofer	2006
Ron Unz	“A cursory examination of the most recent 15 years worth of national mortality data...offers some intriguing clues to this mystery. We find the largest rise in American mortality rates occurred in 1999, the year Vioxx was introduced, while the largest drop occurred in 2004, the year it was withdrawn. Vioxx was almost entirely marketed to the elderly, and these substantial changes in national death-rate were completely concentrated within the 65-plus population. The FDA studies had proven that use of Vioxx led to deaths from cardiovascular diseases such as heart attacks and strokes, and these were exactly the factors driving the changes in national mortality rates. The impact of these shifts was not small. After a decade of remaining roughly constant, the overall American death rate began a substantial decline in 2004, soon falling by approximately 5 percent, despite the continued aging of the population. This drop corresponds to roughly 100,000 fewer deaths per year. The age-adjusted decline in death rates was considerably greater.”	Ron Unz	17 April 2012
