Why don't we just get the drugs now and figure out payment when there isn't an emergency going on? When there's a potential for thousands of people dying, I'd rather get the medicine produced and in the hands of the people who need it immediately. I agree that if the drug helps they should be compensated well, but there's a time and place for everything.
