So here is an interesting but scary thought. Take something like chemo - everyone knows it may or may not work but people that get diagnosed with cancer are scared and want to try something. Hospitals love it because it (and cancer itself) are huge profits for them.
How do we even know the hospitals are giving the real drugs to their patients, or if they are diluting it or worse? What if hospital administrators figured out that they could add saline to the IVs or the oral liquids, or add calcium or some other filler to the pills/capsules? Their profits would go up based on how much they dilute the meds, and since chemo is a coin-flip anyway people wouldn't know the difference.
The headline for this post made me think of this, and the story out of Netherlands (I think) where a percentage of their covid vaxxes were saline shows pharma could do it too.
