COVID Treatment Scam — How Big Pharma Will Fleec
Post# of 51168
STORY AT-A-GLANCE
Biotech giant Gilead Sciences has stated that the company has spent billions of dollars developing the antiviral drug remdesivir, which has shown some promise in treating COVID-19
Taxpayer funds, including the U.S. Army, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Institutes of Health/National Institute Allergies and Infectious Diseases, subsidized the preclinical and clinical development of remdesivir
Reasonable pricing clauses, which put limits on prices for federally funded drugs, have been proposed and put in place in the past to prevent price-gouging, but were later rescinded
NIH funding contributed to published research associated with every new drug approved by the FDA from 2010 to 2016 — 210 drugs in all
Despite the heavy taxpayer funding for drug development, Congress has stalled in reinstituting a reasonable pricing clause to protect Americans from exorbitant drug costs
