Virtue signalling? I call this "not being like dr Mengele"… if you think that's virtue signalling you are just a bad person.
- concordDance 4y agoI believe he's clearly indicated that he think this is in the best interests of the patients, not the VCs. Not sure if it's a reading comprehension issue or if you're just trying to score points. He wants the patients to actually get their devices that make their lives bearable rather than these devices continuing to remain theoretical.

Yes he did say that, but it's a false dilemma fallacy. Startups with insufficient regulation don't get you “devices that would otherwise remained theoretical”, they give you FTX and Theranos. If you want to build a health start-up but cannot uphold basics ethical principles (like: do not abandon your patients on their own if your business plan failed), you should just seek another market.
