Essentially title. I understand why drug makers who claimed drugs were not addictive or pushed doctors to prescribe with ease should be punished. I’m confused why Walgreens and CVS paid such steep fines. In my head, it feels like suing the airport because Boeing makes terrible planes lately.
Thanks for the help!

Pharmacies aren’t just retailers for drugs. Pharmacists have very extensive educations, licenses, and legal responsibility in the correct treatment of their patients. They’re legally liable for things like failing to stop the filling of a prescription that could severely harm a patient due to something like a known allergy or interaction with another drug on that patient’s list.
It’s a little like if trained airport staff are seeing clear safety issues on those planes and admin told them to cover it up
