Viagra was originally developed by Pfizer. The drug company has made headlines recently as they have developed an effective vaccine for COVID-19. But years before they tackled the current health crisis, the company made a name for itself by developing Viagra, which was originally developed for heart-related chest pain. Though it was found to have other benefits along the way. It is prescribed to more than 2 million people in the U.S. and is now available as a generic medication.

\nSpike Lee, who has classics such as Do the Right Thing<\/em> and Malcolm X<\/em> under his belt, has been on a roll as of late. BlacKkKlansman<\/em> earned the filmmaker his first Oscar and was nominated for Best Picture. Lee also directed Da 5 Bloods<\/em> for Netflix, which was a huge hit critically and features one of Chadwick Boseman’s final performances. Lee was also at the helm for the concert movie American Utopia from David Byrne.<\/p>\n
