    It is actually good that the pharmaceutical company has taken this decision. Once a Pharma Contract Manufacturing company did nothing about a serious medical issue. And it wrong of them.

    I think that is smart from pharmaceutical firms, and it will pay them dividend at the end of the day. I love talking about cro firms, because they are providing me the money right now, and that's wonderful for me. I am so happy.
