Nope. Nobody changed the argument. No one said "USA subsidizes drug development out of a societal sense of charitable obligation to the rest of the world." It just so happens that - due to the unfortunate design of our system - the rest of the world is receiving a subsidy.
In fact, there are European-HQ'd pharma companies that also make the lion's share of their profits in the US - so that's certainly not benefiting the US.
- amrocha 2y agoIt’s not the rest of the world getting subsidized, it’s pharmaceutical companies. The rest of the world is getting fleeced trying to buy vaccines. If your government wants to give even more profits to big pharma then go ahead, just don’t claim everyone else should be thankful.
- buttercraft 2y ago> just don’t claim everyone else should be thankful. They did not claim that. >> it’s good to let people die because they’re poor They didn't say that either. What dishonest responses...
