"Ain't no money in the cure, the money's in the medicine...that's how a drug dealer makes his money, on the comeback." • chris rock (il)legal d... • The Drugs I Need
Now consider that in the context of what's happening now. Really think pharma's gonna give you something that makes sure you *don't* get sick? Rather than something that ensures you do? All about dat comeback. This is also why the food and drug companies are joining forces, even merging, and the same agency that regulates the food also regulates the drugs. They have a well-oiled system for making sure they have plenty of customers for life, and they've put every ounce of PR and lobbying and "science funding" into making us all think it's the best thing ever.
Chris was half right. AIDS can be functionally cured nowadays. But yeah you have to take a drug cocktail for the rest of your life. Coming up with a cure for a viral infection actually makes perfect financial sense as long as you don’t eliminate the virus from the population entirely. If you have the cure you have no competition and there will be a steady supply of people who need it.
GDI How is he lying? His points aren't completely accurate but the message remains the same. Corporate greed. Pharmaceutical companies that jack up the prices of drugs 500% for more profit. Even life saving drugs. Just look at Martin Shkreli and Valeant.
"Money's not in the cure money's in the medicine" says a lot about people with mental health problems and how they are being filled with medicine that makes them worse just to earn money.
Well, maybe they don’t cure it, but I remember when it first came out, and at least it’s not an automatic death sentence anymore. And even when they DO come out with a vaccine, the anti-vaxxers will demonize it, by saying it’s poison, or it encourages SEX😱 in teenagers, gays, people in general, or whomever. We actually HAVE a vaccine for a certain type of cancer, but since a lot of the cases ARE sexually transmitted are the parents giving to their kids? Naw. Even though since time began people have been praying for a way to stop cancer🤷♀️. And since time began, no matter HOW rigid the ideals, punishments, outcastings, people, teens still are going to have sex.
@MrTron Of course there a fortune. Only in medicine do they charge diabetics a $1000 a bottle for insulin. Unless...you have insurance. So if you have diabetes..you better not be poor and uninsured. I can only imagine what a cancer cure would cost....just to LIVE. While nothing is free...no one profits off pain and misery like the medical field.
Catie Mac Heart disease, diabetes, even some cancers are lifestyle diseases. If we ate 100% unprocessed foods from the earth, no sugar, minimal to no saturated animal fats, no weird chemicals and pesticides, and got regular exercise and adequate rest on a regular basis, we would DRASTICALLY reduce our chances of getting sick. But that takes tremendous discipline and most people are lazy and would rather have a doctor “cure” them while they continue to eat poison and sit on their ass, instead of taking responsibility for their health.

Lately, I've been realizing comedy from the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s has been more true in recent years than ever before. And that's the part that keeps it hilarious. Lol
The one thing I love the most about Chris rock is that A lot of this material is the truth no matter what the subject is most of it is the truth no bullshit he is one of a kind but not only that he’s sure damn funny that’s for sure
I Love this guy, he can take a serious issue, make you laugh your nards off, and STILL leave the audience knowing that they are better than they were coming in. To me, PRICELESS
@@useyournogos6845 Misinformation? Perhaps you should be saying that to the MSM and the paid shills pushing this crap. Ask yourself why natural immunity is never discussed...
Wow speaking about the drug companies being drug dealers is absolutely amazing since this was done so long ago. And now we're in an opioid crisis and still trying to get out of it.
Man, Chris is like Carlin in that he is a unique cat and ahead of his times. He was funny as hell in the 90's and early 2000's. Pretty damn talented dude.
I can remember watching this stand up, as a kid, in 1999. And, I can remember thinking then how dead on accurate this whole bit was and it is still, to this day, the most astute joke I’ve ever seen.
pharmas compete... if one pharma comes up with a cure, no doctor will buy from pharmas that dont cure, then all pharmas will start making cures... so its ignorant to say they control disease this way.. coz in the end its the drs that decide to buy what drug from what pharma...

He's sold out now and wants people to poison themselves with the ADE clotshots. The money is indeed not in the cure, its in making you sick. The eugenics also is not in the cure, its in subtly killing you with fake poison disguised as medicine.
I am a doctor and I find this funny. CR does a good job of stretching the truth to make humour. To my fellow docs that are offended: you either take yourself too seriously or you have a confidence problem. Chill.
He's the best around. You are being more than entertained. You are being educated. Black or white. If you listen and relax, you'll get it. You'll feel places inside you loosen up you didn't even know were tight. The truth does that. Chris please take care of yourself. You are unique and wonderful. We need you!
100% right. I've gotten much better results adapting and sticking to a 100% Plant-based diet and exercise. No pills,vaccines or doctors needed over here. I treat the human frame with proper nutrition and exercise 🌱💪
Yep. Ain't that something. He was dead on. I just saw a commercial yesterday that looked like a commercial for Cialis or Viagra, but it was for an H.I.V. medication that supresses the virus to undectable levels so that you are now able to live with it.
Naa K Mercy well that’s a vast improvement over the early 80s when an AIDS diagnosis was a death sentence! I lost a family member to AIDS. Medical science has come a long way, trust me.
So true. I've had both friends and family who went into Big Pharma with high hopes....and were left bitterley disappointed with an industry that quite frankly couldn't give a shite about you or your health. In fact some have gone as far as to say the main goal of Big Pharma is actually to keep everyone ill, not make everyone better. But you try telling most people that...It IS COMMON SENSE that people will not want to lose money....and it is common sense that curing diseases rather than permanently treating them will lose someone money.....So why oh why oh why would any company ever want to cure anything.....They wouldn't...And when you realize that you can start to take back your health.
The ultimate irony is that the man who's got it most together about how shit works...the best sociologist in America is a guy who didn't even finish high school! I am not saying anything about a college education...I have my B.A. degree. I'm just saying...most of Chris Rock's brilliance is stuff that is absolutely true yet he has a way of hyperbolizing it for laughs. This is scary how accurate it is.
@@rjames5967 How do you know he has writers? Besides that, if he can't deliver the joke properly, it don't matter what writers you have, you can have 155 writers.

Please repeat big pharma's policy, " A patient cured, is a customer lost"
Now consider that in the context of what's happening now. Really think pharma's gonna give you something that makes sure you *don't* get sick? Rather than something that ensures you do? All about dat comeback.

Dang everything Chris says is just the same then as it is now. These jokes haven't aged.
Which makes you wonder - is it a quality of his comedy, the lack of progress in society or a combo of the two?

cazia9 🤔 excellent question. Excellent. I say both
His comedy is timeless

Crazy that people think anything's changed. Chris was right then and he's still right now. They don't really care about us man
I’m curious of which people once thought this as truth and some where between now and then, they decided that everything is “better”
They care. They hate us and want us dead, AFTER we are on subscriptions for decades
