Might as well be infinity. What never gets much press is these awards always ALWAYS get overturned on appeal and settled for like 6 figures. Media glosses over the final result. Not newsworthy

Given a choice I'd accept a little breast enlargement over psychosis. If this guy wouldn't make this trade off, why didn't he stop taking it after the first sign of swelling? I'm sure he didn't wake up one morning with a Dolly Parton chest.

$8 billion for gynecomastia (enlarged breast)? That's insane.

That's "corporate lawyers scrambling to appeal the value of the award" territory. I really doubt it'll stay that high, especially since compensatory damages of $680k were already awarded, and the SCOTUS decision "State Farm v. Campbell" limits excessively high punitive damages.

Why do you say that? It is SIX months of profit! If you were paid half your salary in 2019 but normal salary starting 2020, with 20% annual increase, will it break you? Our drug pricing system is broken. Trivia: what was the NET INCOME of J&J in 2018?

Hint.: Net Sales were $81 Billion!

What about the tens of thousands of seniors who died from deadly side effects of Risperdal given (usually without consent) in nursing homes? J&J deserves every ruling it gets for putting profits over the safety of patients

I'm aware these are almost pro forma reversed on appeal, but that's part of the point: the system is broken. This is also in furtherance of the claim the system is broken: "Those with a legitimate claim wait years to see any money and the only winners are the attorneys."

Okay, but... “When ruling on appeals, judges often reduce jury punitive-damage awards.”
