Seems like American's delight in dishing big cooperation's. Wal-Mart is constantly under fire and apparently the bloom is not so bright on the Starbuck Rose. Big pharmaceutical companies are another target for teardown, yet I know there are good guys out there, so imagine my delight when I happened on an article in the New York Times applauding the worlds fourth largest drug company, Sanofi-Aventis for their work to bring an affordable Malaria Pill to poor countries. Initially in conjunction with the group Doctors without Borders, but also available to other public health organizations and developing countries Sanifi will be offering the Malaria pill for under a dollar without taking any profit. They have opted not to seek a patent meaning generic companies will also able to produce the Maleria pill. See, not all big corporations are evil, Now it's time for the other "big dog" pharmaceutical companies to learn by example and follow the lead of Sanofi-Aventis.
