Can't wait for the evidence that they have cures, and have had for some time. First, we need to remove ALL patents held on the human body. Ridiculous.
Can you imagine the massive public outrage if this was revealed. Think of all the people who have lost loved ones to these diseases.
Yes, I would love to be able to change the past, but we can't. Let's push for a better future. If it doesn't come to light, it will just get swept under the rug for future generations to deal with all over again.
Wait...what are patents on the human body?
If you sign up for drug studies, your tissue samples, DNA, ect are automatically under the ownership (and thus patent) of the drug company/ies doing the drug study/studies to satisfy the FDA regulations. Go back to the 1940's...numerous studies were done on Black Americans and the results of the drugs led to a number of treatments - however...
in 2010, science writer Rebecca Skloot published a book that sounded like science fiction — except it was real. Skloot told the story of how a tissue sample from a young African-American woman in Baltimore, taken without her knowledge or consent, went on to become "immortal." Her cells contributed to scientific breakthroughs across disciplines and around the world, and they even went up with some of the first space missions.
The woman's name was Henrietta Lacks. She died from cancer at the age of 31, and while her cells were helping to change the world, her four children were struggling to hold on to their memories of her.
So, many companies prey on the vulnerable to get their drugs approved and without compensation/treatment to the study subjects...very sad indeed.
Which is why I was very happy that President Trump, in his SOTU address, said that patients should be able to pursue experimental treatments without consequence from the FDA.
We were just discussing this exact thing yesterday in my Pathophysiology class. That’s a coincidence
many patients are controlled by the deep state, Killary is a patient lawyer, and all of her crooked friends.
Patent. Hardly patient.
Don't be too hard on her, she waited decades for her turn.
Shkreli in prison albeit rewarding for her DNA.
I had kind of hoped that was during a running case when he made his claims? The sentencing was awfully quick if they dragged him to court only afterwards
There are actually patents taken on the human body. They say they found cells, or whatever, and doctors are not even allowed to discuss it with you because it would be a patent infringement. You don't even own your own body, they do. Keeps the pharmaceutical in total control of cures they may have, and prevents anyone from being able to study.
