I remember when that observation was discredited as a conspiracy theory
- wat10000 8mo agoI’ve never seen that discredited. Are you confusing the obvious fact that they won’t pursue unprofitable drugs with the much more dubious idea that they won’t pursue profitable cures because ongoing treatment is even more profitable?
- Aurornis 8mo agoThe dubious idea is that eliminating private medical care systems would open up a world of research into treating very rare conditions with high R&D costs. If this was true, why wouldn't all of the countries with socialized medicine be doing it already?
- paulryanrogers 8mo agoThe US already was, and to since extent still does. Same in the UK and other parts of Europe. Government funds a lot of medical R&D. Thank them for the fundamental research that lead to the COVID vaccine.
