--The largest amount of what is remaining is: “Grants and other assistance to governments and organizations in the United States” (Part IX line 1) – $6.2 million. This amount is itemized on Schedule 1. Almost all of these recipients are medical schools, with strong ties to the pharmaceutical industry.

The ALS Association was started in 1985, and they still have not invested in any new cures for ALS. One of the latest failures was Biogen’s drug dexpramipexole, which halted research in early 2013. The drug was in research for more than 10 years at an estimated cost of between $75 million and $100 million, but was abandoned in last stage development due to poor results. (Source.)

What was the last great disease to be defeated by modern medicine?

Smallpox?

Just read a story that some university department was being shut down or something to that effect, and when they were throwing everything out, they found a cardboard box full of vials of small pox. Haha.

Quite a few have gone missing over time globally.

wow

I remember the debate, should we destroy the final samples of small pox, thereby intentionally extincting a life form...

There are only two sites that are permitted to stored smallpox - one at the CDC in Atlanta and another near Novosibirsk, Russia. All other samples should have been destroyed as per the 1979 agreement.

But they keep finding vials in boxes and stuff. Think July was the most recent?

That hasn't been defeated though. WHO declared a state of emergency in May of the increased number of outbreaks of polio.

Yea i read that right after i posted

So what the fuck is an ebola vaccine gonna do if we cant even get every1 a vaccine thats been around for 50 years AND was given away before the big pharma companies could get on it

I doubt big pharma wants ebola to go away anytime soon. They've been given the all clear by WHO to test vaccines that haven't passed clinical trials. That includes anything they haven't yet got approval to do human trials with.

So they can test whatever the fuck they want on live subjects and don't have to worry about getting it signed off before doing so. They must be pissing themselves with laughter, having a sandbox environment like that presented to them on a plate.

Malaria but controlled not defeated. (Sickle cell hemoglobin stuff -. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/20 ... 123931.htm)

There's basis for saying controlling is done to deter mutation but at the same time a leg in for big pharma.

^ IMO, too many people die from that to consider it controlled in any way

Well son, it's just because me and my dad are racists in the sky

The diseases y'all are suggesting are 40-60 years ago. With the acceleration of technological advancements, we've somehow not managed any further significant gains? With all those donations, a-thons, etc?

You are absolutely right. There's no question that medicin is both wallet and skin colour dependant. It's so gross.

It's pretty sickening, I admire what India have been doing lately by trying very hard to make modern medicine affordable, it must be hard to go against the big pharma companies.
