Alternative: send Vertex Pharmaceuticals' board to the guillotine and make the medication available for pennies per 50-milligram pill (at cost) or free (publicly funded).
Yes that will get people to do research and make new meds available. /s
Should I have added "nationalize it and make future research funded and owned by the public"? (A lot of public funding already goes to medical research, but the profits get privatized.)
Private corporations researching medications so they can price gouge the chronically ill through a copyright-enforced monopoly isn't the only way to do medical research.
That's the way.
The public is definitely not benefitting enough from the research they fund als also the price gouging at the cost of sick people is very problematic, but I'm not in favour of beheading bad people. But I understand that the longer decision makers continue to allow these bad people to do these bad things, the more likely it becomes the guillotine makes an appearance.
Found the corporate bootlicker.
