I read that Lipitor made them 100 billion between the time they patented it in 1997 and when the patent expired and it went generic. I thought they were the biggest pharmaceutical company in the world, but I just looked it up and it looks like the top spots move around a little — for now.
I knew an employee at Pfizer and Lipitor was the goose that laid the golden egg. They have been searching for a repeat since. This will be interesting since the latest news is Pfizer has developed the vaccine but (shhh) in partnership with a German firm. The news is sure to dribble out within the next few days.
