Gerald Posner talks about his new book, PHARMA: Greed, Lies and the Poisoning of America. Chapter 51 in that book is titled "The Coming Pandemic." An infectious disease expert tell Posner at the close of that chapter that a coming pandemic is "not a question if, it is a question of when."

PHARMA was published on March 10, 2020 and the following day the World Health Organization declared the coronavirus/Covid-19 a pandemic.
In this interview with CNN host Michael Smerconish, Posner talks about why Big Pharma might take advantage of the pandemic to charge exorbitant prices for drugs that treat Covid-19 and for any ultimate vaccine.
