and pay a thousand fold, 10,000 fold more for the product than to pay for a trial that actually determines, does this make me live more?
Does this make me go to the hospital less?
Because if it makes me go to the hospital more, I don't want it.
And I definitely don't think that we should be paying for it.
And the people who make money on these products should pay for the, you know, they could pay for the trials.
It would even be better if the government put in the money to pay for the trial, even though it's not fair that people who make the money should pay for it, but it would be smarter if the government even just paid for the trial instead of just paying, because we pay with Medicaid, Medicare, the VA.
Pay is...
Many fold more and they do it every year after year and every year that any drug is passed, we spend more on that drug than the clinical trial would have cost to do it.
I think that we have to think about this from a perspective of what's...
what's the point of approving drugs?
And what's the point of studying them before we give them out?
And it's to know that it gives you benefit over harm.
And to not do what we know how to do, it's really a shame, especially when you start dealing with things like vaccines, where we're giving them to healthy people.
And if the benefit is real small, because you're going to have to do a trial of a million people,
to figure out if it really helps or not, then the problem is that benefit being so small, the problem is then you only need a very small amount of harm to outweigh it.
And I can't understand why in the 1950s were we able to do a polio vaccine study with a million kids, a million children in 1950s and Jonas Salk's polio vaccine trial.
Why?
Why?
Today, our population is probably twice as large, if not more.
And we have way more money.
