This is what Google AI says when asked "does big pharma spend more on research or marketing"

Afterall, how much big pharma pays the doctors to prescribe some of the shit they come up ain't cheap.

"In general, Big Pharma companies spend more on marketing and sales than on research and development (R&D). While R&D costs are significant, a substantial portion of pharmaceutical revenue is directed towards promotional efforts, including advertising and sales activities."

I hear ya. But that is because the numbers do not include the many startup companies that do nothing but research. These are typically bought out when their product shows promise by the larger companies that do the finish work and bring it to market. If you do a look at the largest 20, 30 or even 50 companies then it is true. But look at the entire industry, then it is not.
