I don't know. We see pharma companies killing one-time cures to not cannibalise recurring treatments, even if another company makes the recurring treatments.

Yet one of the biggest selling products ever was a cure for hepatitis C.

Pharma hiding cures is internet BS.

I believe so too, it would also simply require too many good people in labs all around te world to not say anything about it. I find that highly unlikely.

Try looking up how many whistleblowers are out there that you've never heard of.

That is one example that was interpreted by you to be valid for all other cases? Seeing your other comments I think you highly trust the medical system. Never trust blindly my friend.

Please give an example of a cure that has been hidden by pharma. I'm all ears.

Yet I cannot afford the USD $200,000 price tag for Gilead's cure.

Where have we seen this? Genuine question.

Not exactly an example, but the pharma industry has shown a complete lack of interest in pursuing phage therapy, even though it could help solve the problem of antibiotic resistance, because phages cannot be patented.

I’ve heard phage therapy is very individual and cannot be scaled as a reason for slow adoption.

I don’t have a specific example of openly stopping production of a cure, but it’s hard to imagine that research isn’t shaped by this profit drive: https://www.cnbc.com/2018/04/11/goldman-asks-is-curing-patie...

If the profit incentive was removed (let’s say government paid same flat rate for a lifetime supply of treatment, whether it be a cure or a reoccurring pill) I have no doubt more cures would be discovered

Anecdotal, but I heard it from a reasearcher working in pharma that the company stopped developing a drug that cured some condition that another branch of the company had a treatment for.
