It seems like the fight "for" a cure would have just as much, if not more, support than a fight "against" a cure....from a $ standpoint and especially a humanity standpoint.
Look at a list of how much the various industries spend on congressional lobbying every year. Big pharm tops the list and by a large margin. They spend a lot of money making sure congress doesn't let their profits drop.


I can see big pharm sending as much $ to them as needed to keep them in their pocket. No doubt.

Converse of that, it costs insurance companies and the manufacturers of an already existing product nothing to disclose it to the public. Fight would be won if they do that. ....if....it really is a valid cure or treatment...

I'm not arguing. I'm just looking at both sides.
