    Mike Solana Retweeted Elizabeth Warren

    question: what is the comparable anti-profit model of drug development that has saved hundreds of millions (billions?) of lives?https://twitter.com/ewarren/status/1080905251983548421 …

    Mike Solana added,

    Giant drug companies only care about one thing: raking in profits on the backs of patients. Mergers that mean more money for drug company CEOs while patients pay the price are not a solution to skyrocketing drug costs. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/03/business/dealbook/bristol-myers-squibb-celgene-merger.html …

        If only there was a non-profit org with a $30B endowment, which employs the brightest minds in science/business/aw, located in the heart of the life sciences ecosystem that could show how easy it is to develop and market new drugs...Maybe one with politically influential alums?

        My daughter survived childhood cancer because of those "greedy" drug companies. Until someone can answer the question you posed, lets let the golden goose keep laying eggs.

        Both these views are unnecessarily extreme. Systems should keep evolving and improving.

        haha i didn’t offer a view! i’m rather critiquing a view that “drug companies only care about money,” with warren’s implicit call for aggressive action impeding their progress, as v v insane

        wait are you trying to imply that profits come from actually delivering something of value? (usual caveats about bad actors being assholes apply)

        So the government sets up a system through the FDA and regulation that basically makes it impossible for drug companies care about patients over just getting a drug through approval and then they complain about it. 🤣🤣🤣 Don't regulate the drug companies change the system.

        Wow, the Warren platform gets wilder. What bothers me most here is the millions of scientists who’s work goes unnamed in these drug dev programs who’s work would otherwise be impossible.
