Does it offend you that Merck charges for its products?
You need it so Merck can make a lot of money....
You make it sound like someone at Merck was just surfing the net for pr0n and accidentally stumbled across the recipe for making what is now marketed as Gardasil.
Merck, like every other drug company that wants to business in the US has to risk sometimes billions of dollars over a period of many years in order to bring a drug to market. Many drugs never make it to market and the FDA doesn't mind thousands of people dieing because a vaccine or cure is bogged down in red tape.
I think most people would prefer taking a pill or receiving an injection as insurance against getting cut open only after cancer or some other ailment has eaten away and destroyed an organ. These drugs don't drop from the sky and cost nothing to make and distribute. And our corrupt government and even more corrupt Tort system has made advancements in medical science extremely risky and expensive. I'm sure there are many cures that haven't been discovered because people like you don't want drug companies to be profitable.
And because you are so worried that someone might make a dollar in the pharmaceutical industry, you don't mind having to pay much higher premiums for medical insurance and taxes for everyone else because you would prefer woman have cervical cancer and the huge expense involved with dealing with that, than the horror of Merck recovering development costs and benefiting its shareholders.
If you hate the way business is done and hate the free market economy and hate the idea that many women might not have to suffer from cervical cancer, then maybe you would be happier with Obamacare where Gardasil won't even be an option and cures for other maladies will never be found again. With non-existant cures for a host of plagues you then can be happy as millions of others suffer agonizing death because someone you don't know isn't making money discovering and making a drug that would save lives.
Bad, Merck! Bad.
Yep profits are EEEEEEEEEEVIIIIIIIIILLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!
