Science costs money – research is guided by who funds it and why. Outstanding article today from @theconversation.com. Honored to have our work @jamahealthforum.com on the NIH role in clinical development of new drugs cited. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam... theconversation.com/science-cost...

Science costs money – research is guided by who funds it and why

The federal government is more likely to fund curiosity-driven basic research, while industry is more likely to support research that has a clearer eventual payoff.

“US Tax Dollars Funded Every New Pharmaceutical in the Last Decade”

Big Pharma also manipulates drug markets and research; lies about the efficacy and safety of its drugs; bribes doctors and politicians. www.drugwatch.com/featured/cli...

US Tax Dollars Funded Every New Pharmaceutical in the Last Decade

Amid debates over costs—and profits—from a coronavirus vaccine, a new study shows that taxpayers have been footing the bill for every new drug approved between 2010 and 2019
