> A policy of funding a domestic trial of anything which anyone else is trying anywhere in the world wouldn't be crazy, actually. It seems rather crazy to me, but perhaps more importantly, it is a strategy that - implemented literally - would result in the US leadership being very easily led by others "anywhere in the world" in matters of drug research, a situation which would be very amenable to manipulation for profit. That's obviously wrong. We want the US leadership to be very easily led by Fox News personalities and whatever is popping on Twitter.
