Why not subsidise the developed drug instead of taking upfront risk? Government can easily pay trillions of people money with no result for people.

- Spooky23 2y agoIt’s pretty obvious - it’s cheaper to fund research than to allow a company to price risk. I think this makes sense as science is at a point where the low hanging fruit is picked and new drugs are more expensive and sometimes less of an improvement than what we saw in the past. Pharmaceutical firms exist because the US and other governments fund basic research, it’s not an alien concept.
