I’m not trying to disregard the need for cheap treatment, but by preventing pharma from developing drugs that they profit from kills all R&D.

I’d be open on a success based public funding where IP becomes public domain, but I doubt big pharma would ever pull that trigger.

I’m thankful for modern day drugs, like PReP and PEP (pre and post hiv exposure drugs), vaccines and cancer treatments to name a few, it just sucks that those less fortunate don’t have access yet.
