   The vaccine business certainly didn't hurt Pfizer's bottom line. The   
   patents on their three cash cows, Viagra, Zoloft, and Lipitor had expired,   
   the last, Viagra, in 2020. Their Alzheimer's drug was a dry hole and they   
   folded the research department.   
      
   As for Lipitor, the fascination with statins lines more pockets than   
   Pfizer's. My doctor is a bit of a cynic and says the checklist she has to   
   use for Medicare somehow always comes out 'you need statins'.
