However, lots of people thought longer about what smart phone to switch to than they did whether to take multiple vaccinations of something that nobody knew what it did or how it worked.

Let's understand how Big Pharma gets their power.
Let's say you're a researcher at a university medical research/teaching hospital, and you discover a cure for cancer. Before you can take it to market, you have to jump through the FDA hurdles. First you have to convince them that your product is potentially viable enough to go through human testing. Then you have Phase I to determine whether it does any collateral harm, Phase II to determine whether it actually works, and Phase III to determine whether works better than what is already there. These phases are based on large human testing samples. The total cost of Phases I, II, and III can run $80-100 million, and when you start the process your chances of ultimate success are around 3%. Off your university salary you can't afford that risk, so you have to find a sugar daddy. You get VCs to put up $15MM for Phase I, they take a significant percentage of the deal, and split the rest among you and the university and hospital endowments and any other players. When Phase I is completed successfully, your percentage of success rises to around 20%, and enter Big Pharma. They put up $40MM for Phase II and buy out the VCs at a considerable profit to them. Wash, rinse, and repeat for Phase III. Now, all along the way you are also seeking government and other grant funding, so the ultimate bite for Big Pharma is way less than the $100MM price tag. But when they step in at the Phase II level, they are looking at 20% hit rate, or 1 in every 5 deals. So worst case, they spend $500MM to get a piece of intellectual property worth billions in future profits.
That process pretty much rules out anybody but Big Pharma ending up with the intellectual property.
