Yes, no innovation has been done under any system but capitalism. /s Let’s forget about how totalitarian Russia was the first to space. Let’s forget about how much medicine was developed under the religious authoritarianism of ancient Arabia. Let’s forget about how much philosophy was conceived under feudalism.
The article suggests the vaccine prevents the recurrence of a specific cancer by 44% vs conventional treatment alone. So let’s be pessimists and say it only prevents recurrence by 22%. Should we eat our words that still 1/5th of people who’d otherwise die or suffer horribly from a recurring cancer now don’t?
I think I would be more skeptical of the eventual price of this treatment and less about its effectiveness.
You know what this sounds like to me?
Like Moderna is gonna ask $10k a poke.
Sure would be nice if capitalism didn’t exist 🤪
It wouldn’t exist at all if capitalism didn’t exist.
People would just get cancer and die like they used to.
Capitalism is the reason we (and you) have nice things.
Capitalism =/= money.

are you still on meta or drugs?
I’m sure leaving reddit was a good idea, but joining lemmy might not have been. People here are just delusional in their approach to reality.
It seems a lot of people came here because they’re too reddit for reddit.
Damn you weren’t kidding about the Pharma Bros. The fuckin Tankies are glad to not be the dumbasses in thread for once
Oh, what villains! Developing a cure for cancer and asking for ten thousand dollars for it!
In terms of cancer treatment, do you have any idea how small ten thousand dollars is?
america is just sad
Dying from cancer is also sad. Chemo is also sad. Who wins? Find out tonight at 8pm
Do drugs other than betel nuts grow on trees in your country?
When it’s inevitably going to be a lot less than that, will you eat your words?
If it cost ten thousand dollars I’d throw an enormous party. That’s already a very small price for a cancer treatment.
