      Zack Kanter Retweeted Dave Weigel

      Nuking the entire pharma pipeline to lower short term drug prices is just such a perfect example of how politicians think I can barely handle it. Politics is politicians being caricatures of politicians recursively until my head explodes.https://twitter.com/daveweigel/status/1198048623562514439 …

      Harris, like Warren, tells her audience about using presidential powers to to make drugs cheaper. If they resist: “I will snatch their patent so we can take over.” Someone in the audience asks “can we do that?” “Yes, we can do that! We just need the will to do that.” pic.twitter.com/DXT84eTKjQ

      Big pharma R&D is 17% of revenue. How would lowering drug prices and potentially taking over some patents "nuke the entire pharma pipeline?" If you prefer unfettered capitalism, just say it. :)

      “Taking over some patents” will make R&D go to zero. How will companies justify multi-year, multi-billion dollar R&D projects when the resulting patent might be “taken over”?

          Indeed, bad policies have already contributed to a 100X increase in the cost of new drugs despite advances in other sectors. The next step is to go from 100X increase in cost to infinity. Make it completely financially infeasible! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eroom%27s_law …pic.twitter.com/M3NCHbYP9X

          Are you arguing that increasing drug costs are primarily the government's fault? That's an interesting argument.

          Defined guardrails (e.g. post-R&D profitability cap) can solve both problems.

          Profit is an opinion.

          The only R&D they are doing is on dick pill treatments anyway. They don't want to research cures. PrEP research was entirely publicly funded, and Gilead got all the profits.
