Article is neglecting other forms of usage of ″Big Pharma″

This article is misleading because it indirectly implies that the only existing use of ″Big Pharma″ is in the setting of a conspiracy theory.

The article is misleading because there is no other article on Wikipedia about ″Big Pharma″ used in the context outside of a conspiracy theory, which may indirectly mislead readers about the existence of other ways to use the term. Also, the article is negatively biased against the conspiracy theory, which may cause some individuals to become negatively biased against people who refer to the pharmaceutical business as ″big pharma″ even though they have very limited information about the way the term is used.

Because of these reasons I'm putting a warning label on the article, although a superior solution would be to create an article about the cultural uses and meaning of Big Pharma with a section about it's use in the conspiracy theory.

Here are a few sources that are using ″Big Pharma″ in the context outside of a conspiracy theory. They were extremely easy to find by simply searching ″Big Pharma″ in Google Scholar, and there are a whole lot more examples other than the ones I chose.

Within journal articles:

Non journal articles that use ″Big Pharma″ in a non-conspiracy setting.
