Once again, follow the money. Curing cancer with a dirt cheap drug would do major damage to big pharm’s wallet.
And so sad but so true.
The medical community and big pharma no longer want to actually help people be cured.
They just want to treat people.
It’s job security like none other.
Glad to see people developing mature perspectives at corporate misdeeds and recklessness.
The term ‘corporate’ in reference to this case “big pharma” is not a swipe at for profit successful enterprise, rather it’s a pattern of behavior made possible by complicit regulators.
Antithetical to Ronald Reagan’s dismantling the suffocating effects of the Regulatory State, today we have a merging of corporate enterprise with regulatory bodies. Whereas Reagan sought to unshackle corporate energy from overbearing regulation in order to unleash productivity, innovation, competiveness, what we have today is the other extreme, corporate dominance so powerful that regulators are mere agents for corporate interests.
The answer to this ping-pong flim-flam of history is not to swing back to a regulatory arena of writing more laws and rules, the answer is serious harsh prosecution.
“You mean I can be prosecuted for an occasional ‘misdirection’, a marketing ‘overstep, because I assure you it happens all the time on say, for example, pre-owned car lots and such!”
Uh, yeah, you can be charged.
“Well, in that case, I’ll pay the fine and we can agree to go our separate ways, fair enough?”
No, it’s in the category of crimes against humanity which entails at least decades in prison or more probably a hanging by the neck.
“Say what? You’re a commie!”
You can tell that to the underlord standing at the entrance of the Pit of Hell where you’re going.
