Drug companies can gain monopolies of vitally necessary life and death products and overcharge outrageously to dying people and this very frequently oversteps common morality to an immoral and greedy extent. Much of the basic research of these products takes place in universities and research laboratories and the technology is transferred to commercial houses who pretend that their mercantile expenses are vital basic research to propagandize their excuses for grossly overcharging helpless customers.
Not "can" so much as "have". Particularly the vaccine market.
