- vibrio 9y agoIt’s true, if you cure Alzheimer’s you will probably be worth hundreds of billions of dollars, but scientifically Pharma is groping in the dark at this point in time. The last decade or so has had a series of extremely expensive last stage clinical failures and Pfizer isn’t known for cutting edge science.
- DannyB2 9y agoCuring Alzheimer's or any other condition is the wrong approach. It is way more profitable to treat the condition and turn it into something that is merely manageable rather than making your revenue stream disappear entirely. This is the most humane approach to improve the quality of life for shareholders and the health of executives' bonuses.
