Penicillin alone has saved more lives than oil and gas industry. That is just one medicine.

Countries like Norway and Costa Rica don’t rely on oil and gas for their needs. So it is possible to live without oil and gas. Good luck living without meds.

They are exporting it because they don’t need it. So they can live without it. So does Costa Rica. So does 50% of Germany. That’s the point here.

They all need meds. O&G must be replaced at some point, it is literally a limited resource. Even countries like China and India have replaced what they could with alternative sources

What is an alternative to meds and vaccine? Die ?

Vaccines have saved more lives.

Are you saying vaccines haven’t saved that many lives? Or that oil and gas have saved more than vaccines.

Deloitte, are you on drugs again?

You can go your whole life with any pharma inventions but only a few days / weeks without oil / gas

OP, out of curiosity, how do you know?

Clearly you’re not doing public health or pharma work at Deloitte. What’s the metric you’re using to say that big pharma hasn’t done anything as useful since?

It’s not irrelevant at all. The OP claims that petroleum is some sort of miracle elixir that has saved more lives than medicine. I was simply pointing out that plenty of humans lived without using it for a long, long time.
