Your statement pretty much is paranoia ... Big pharma is influential in the US simply because they conduct the highest amount of clinical trials compared to ANY continent by virtue ... More importantly with biologics on the rise, treatments are becoming more permanent than ever before with gene therapy. Late last year, a biologic containing an AAV vector was approved by the FDA to cure Leber's congenital amaurosis which causes blindness ... You don't appreciate what big pharma does because you're too blindsided to not understand that they bring miracles ... Price controlling medicine like Europe or other common wealth countries is not a sustainable path for drug development and never will be. Advocates of that stance are too ignorant to not see that it is mainly the US who keeps funding their fragile little bubble ... We're waiting when ungrateful Europe will actually start contributing to big pharma in a significant capacity since they are run like charities currently or they could just end up being humiliated by the biggest third world country (China) in drug development ... (personally, I'm more eager to see Europe's social democrat backed price controls to fail then fall behind the likes of China Massive irony to Europe that they'd be losing in biopharmaceutical research to nation that's constantly accused of "technology transfer" but I guess if they cannot pay for innovation they do not deserve to reap the fruits of it ... |

Bring miracles are you being sarcastic here what was the last major disease that actually got a cure via big pharma.
