| Chris Hu said: Okay name me a few then. Also there is nothing paranoid about my statement about big pharma that is how they operate. Also big pharma is more powerful in the US then anywhere else in the world. The US and some other minor country are the only two countries in the world where they are allowed to air TV ads for prescription medications on TV. |
Your second statement is not true at all and is in fact paranoia as pointed out by NightlyPoe ...
For instance, Gilead Sciences has brought the drug Sofosbuvir which outright cures Hepatitis C with a high efficacy (90-100%) in conjunction with the usage of Velpatasvir which is also a proprietary product of Gilead Sciences as well ...
Pharmaceutical companies have no financial incentive to with hold a cure solely because of competitive pressure otherwise when Gilead would've potentially lost up to $10B+ of revenue in their lifetimes had they've not brought the cure since others like Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer, and Merck would've happily taken up the mantle and profit off developing the omnipotent drugs themselves ...
Biopharmaceutical companies don't intend to rent seek, they intend to provide value but you and the others fail to see that. The US has lead in the development of monoclonal antibodies but now they've furthered their heights even farther in exploring biologics by using state of the art adeno-associated virus vectors ...
American medical innovation has shown that late stage cancer doesn't have to be a death sentence and I have hope that they can also show that Alzheimer's doesn't have to be either regardless of the price tag ...
