Drug discovery has already mostly ground to a halt, so I don't think we'd be breaking much of a system.

- Pxtl 3y agoI think mRNA vaccines provide a pretty strong counter-argument. And do you know how many heart patients are alive today thanks to apixaban? Before that drug people were taking literal rat-poison as an anticoagulant.

Quick question- will a massive dose of apixaban kill a rat the same as a massive dose of an anticoagulant will? mRNA's are novel, on this we can agree, and I have no issue with their use. Other sectors of the drug market are less novel and more about slightly different for the purposes of starting the clock on drug copyrights and licencing again.
