    Why is that? Literally nobody will do the research in any country in the world because the Illuminati are everywhere?

      Money and perverse incentives. Clinical trials are expensive, and rapamycin can't be patented. My guess is that, some time in the future, a pharma company will produce and patent an analogue, and then there will be trials.

      Who will fund it (it would be *very* expensive) when they have no hope of recouping the expenses? Consider: We have a likely candidate for a male birth control pill. It's considered quite safe, infertility (while taking it) is a known side effect. All that needs testing is whether it's reliable enough to be used for birth control. Unfortunately, there's a big headache with that--it does *not* stop sperm production so you can't test by having men jack off in a test tube and do a sperm count. Thus testing will be expensive. It's been known about for quite a while and nobody has funded it.
