I'm personally of the opinion that all medical research should be tax funded. But given our current situation, if you tell these companies to 'eat the loss' they will simply stop producing new medicines.
Oh stop. The government should be running the pharaceutical industry then, not private companies.
Stop simping for evil corporations that don't give a shit about you.
Reading comprehension is tough I know. I indeed believe essential services including medical research should be government run.
But since that is not the case right now you can't expect companies to operate on a non profit basis. If stating obvious facts is simping then I guess you can call me a simp.
Oh no, whatever will we do if old dudes can't have 6 different types of boner pills?
Pharma companies spend a majority of their time trying to make new unique drugs, they just fail most of the time. The ones that succeed tend to be ones that are similar to ones that succeeded in the last, which is why you get multiple drugs in the same class, but it's not all they do. For example, we've essentially cured some types of cystic fibrosis, and there's an effective vaccine for malaria now - all developed in the last 10 years.
I don't want to pretend that the big pharma companies aren't evil, but they do have incentives that align with improving human health.
It's real easy to sit on the sidelines and spew hate. Not much of a life though.
