There's 4,000, 4,000 drugs.

I mean,

There's a lot of conspiracies around pharmaceutical industry and that they don't want to cure cancer.

They don't want to cure these drugs.

They just want to prolong, you know, and basically what I'm getting at is they just want to make money.

They don't really give a shit about people's lives.

I don't know if that's true or not.

You know, a lot of conspiracies run wild in the world today, but.

But one question I have is, I mean, when you find a drug like this, especially the one that you were just talking about that was kind of a sleeper back that they were using in the 50s.

Yeah, yeah, thalidomide, yeah, yeah.

Birth defects.

I mean, I don't know what company developed that, but I mean, do these – when you're taking a drug that's a Pfizer drug or whatever –

Are these companies helping you do the research?

Are they funding it?

I mean, because they stand to make a lot of money if you repurpose the drug and you do the research, correct?

I mean, how do you fix this at scale?

I mean, I have a feeling you're going to say AI, but I mean, and maybe that is the answer.

Is there a better answer?

Is there, would it be, I mean, I'm just curious, you know, let's say the US government gets involved, you know, and they start to incentivize the drug companies to continue their research.

Maybe they grant the patent for another 10 years, or maybe they subsidize it.
