This is something people say over and over, I’m not sure of the source. Even if it were true, turning a discovery into a distributable, replicable, intervention is the opposite of a trivial task. And yes, our lovely regulatory environment makes it enormously expensive to study drugs and treatment and to get them approved. Who knows how many lives have been lost by this. When people talk about for example university research driving technology, I think the practicalities of the real world … aka business aka living in 4dimensional reality … are inaccessible to them. They elide all these pesky details which represent like 98% of what it takes to actually do anything.
