Oh, kat, darlin', you're showing us your pink side!! :>) Hit's jes' 'dorable.

Take two different contexts, and populate them with two different batches of people, and then run the scenarios at two different points in tim,e and then get all spun up because the two scenarios reveal different standards of thought? C'mon, now. Ethics is situational, and businessmen by trade are opportunistic. The same poor people in Africa if they were to band together and pool their funds and come up with an order for a million tabs of Cipro could probably get the same price from these capitalist pigs, if they managed the negotiation right.

Sorry to be jaded but there are more real targets for lamentation and protest out there. I grant it seems hypocritical for the "government" (which is probably two totally different sets of individuals in this example) to move for price floors with the WHO and move for mass discounts when it is their own asses in the line of fire, but this is surely a natural outgrowth of the circumstances.
