" secrets of drug discoveries " is currently
a luxury this indebted Nation cannot afford.


So if they are not funded, there is no profit.

If there is no profit, it will be dumped.

It happened in 82 or 92 I believe, and then Biotechs went into an 8 year sleep.

As I go though the medical journals , the amount of
meaningful research is very low.
Most of it is people finding something that has little to no use.

Most importantly, getting a drug to market , is d a u n t i n g ,
very time & consuming, and e x t r e m e l y expensive.
.

Biotechs will flop big time...
mark my words.

If you are a trader it's OK. If you are not, watch out.

Hospitals are bleeding. We are bleeding from unfunded HIV care
for example. And I am telling you: we are closing our emergency rooms
to this.
It will all die.

I am not saying here whether that is right or wrong.
I am NOT passing any judgement here.


All I am telling you are just the facts as I see them.
Everyday, in 6 major hospitals I go to.
Half of which are tertiary care centers.

Hospitals are bleeding.

All we can do now is take care of those we can save,
cheaply with proven therapy methods.

Those in whom that it looks like we have no cure or that
will die shortly we just perform a quick downcode to
comfort care unlike throwing weeks of expensive drugs at them.
no expensive new drugs or treatments are being entertained.

Any new expensive antibiotics I am obligated to ask for
an Infectious Disease Consultant, and he routinely orders
a cheaper drug, or wait or downcode.

Again, I am not passing judgement.Just observing.
