>"I’m also struck by how the “Greens,” as in a party that is supposedly about advocating for the environment, would be all in favor of Big Pharma interventions..." Why? The "Greens" party (the "watermelons", green on the outside, red on the inside), wherever they are, are always, first and foremost, in favor of themselves and whoever is funding them at that time. If you want to predict what their "political position" will be on anything, just look at their financials.
