      Yeah, well, their R&D budget for this medicine cost something crazy like $3.5 trillion dollars, so it makes sense that they have to charge 200x the cost to make it.

            Your seat is the source? I think we want something more like a hyperlink to data on the subject.

            Because it didn’t cost them 3.5 trillion to make it.

              It’s a peptide lol. A bond of amino acids. That’s why Chinese suppliers sell it for $5-10/vial in bulk and still make a shitload of money.

              Much wow, big pharma did drug AI a little sooner than the rest of them.

              Id development of these drugs costs as much as our GDP, they’re doing things seriously fucking wrong.

        I am willing to bet they took government money to fund this. So I don’t really accept the argument that they need to price it that much to make profits. How much more profits is the only thin remaining to determine and I don’t have a lot of sympathy for sociopaths who claim they need so much.
