In reply to $300,000.00, Surely you jest..don't you? (nm) » Mr.Scott, posted by phil on August 20, 2002, at 17:56:31
Thats the number we came up with when we were looking into the vaccine market. All the R&D money goes to treatment. There was a pool of 12 billion dollars total that year for all pharma R&D. (Another 12 billion dollars on marketing I should add). All the funding for curing AIDS has come from private (ie. educational institiutions, AIDS groups, etc.) and government funding not from the pharmaceutical industry. So when I say $300,000 I mean strictly pharma spending not other sources. They have Billion dollar drugs on patent and therefore no incentives.
I speak the truth.
