Patents on new uses of a drug
mardi 2 avril 2019 à 02:00The US government permits patenting new uses of a drug — which is nuts. The US government gave itself a patent on using the drug truveda to prevent transmission of HIV, which is unjust. Now the US government permits a company to gouge on the price of truveda — which is vicious and probably deadly.
There should be no patents on pharmaceuticals. Governments should pay the cost of testing them for safety and efficacy.
