Med schools, especially in the U.S teach 'war time medicine, 100 y/o medicine (one size fits all), completely outdated and rigged by big pharma money, deep rabbit hole. I rather listen to PhDs not bound and beholden by the powerful big money interest which has pretty much corrupted everything including what is known as "medicine" today.
Which medical school did you attend? Which specific courses did you take are 100 years old in their teachings? Where did they find 100 year old text books and did the unplug everything to down regulate modern technologies? Did your medical school not allow you to specialize, which virtually every student does, making it impossible for every student to receive the one size fits all teachings.
Which specialities are 100 years old in their knowledge.
Would that be the immaging specialists, who today use SPEC, PET, MRI (functional and standard), Fluroscopy, and a whole variety of permutations of extremely powerful immaging modalities not available until recently in their current design and capabilities, some of which are both diagnostic and therapeutic, or do you think they all still stick to routine radiographs?
Would that be surgery, where they use both imaging and robotics, electronic scalpels, numerous excision and stapling devices, none of which were available 100 years ago. Where an anterior approach hip replacement is an outpatient surgery. Where molded articular surfaces are used to replace joint surfaces. Where stem cells (mostly mesenchymal, which were not discovered 100 years ago) and used in combo with some orthopedic procedures.
Would that be infectious diseases, who 100 years ago had none of the antimicrobial or antiviral therapies available to them today.
Would it be oncology? You are aware that the checkpoint inhibitors were not available until some 5 years ago, and that the hep B treatments transformed the discussions physicians had with cancer patients, some 1o years ago. All thanks to pharma and their relationships (financial) with discovery research conducted at universities.
Or is it the CAR--T therapies that are emerging? Not available until approval earlier this year?
Which subspeciality is practicing 1920 medicine? Anatomy teachers?
Shiva occasionally says something true, such as a capitalistic pharmaceutical company is in it for the profit, that was a tough conclusion. He is chicken little, everything he sees is a conspiracy with 'big pharma' behind it. He has had to retract his nonsense many times.
Tell us which companies you are referring to when you make this claim about pharma? Are you referring to companies that run heir own discovery programs, prosecute candidates they select, run phase I-III trials, spending on average more than $1.5 billion dollars to gain FDA approval, knowing only 1 in 10 making it to phase I become a drug and only 1 in three that are approved make over $400million a year.
Is 'big pharma' the pure pharma, biopharma, pure biologics, generic companies, or one of these fake pharma's who take a generic drug, become the sole producer then raise the price 100 fold.
So you only believe PhD's? The predominant doctorate in pharma is the PhD, yet you say they are unbound and not beholden?
I believe you don't know how the inner workings of ethical drug discovery and development, or how go/no go decisions are made inside those companies. I believe you have no idea how often those companies fail in an effort to find not only what does not work, but what does work, and then fine tune their products.
If you expect an apology for them making money, ask for one from your cell service provider, or cell phone company. You willingly allow them to gouge you far more than the pharmaceutical companies ever could, and they sell you a product that does not save lives.
Sure pharma has issues, but the US pharma is the medicine chest of the world, the premier discovery and development machine of the world.
Shiva never discovered anything, he is a pirate. It is no coincidence that the Hindu god Shiva, had the sole purpose of destroying the universe and In order to re-create it. He stole the name and the idea and probably fantasizes that he is also Brhama and Vishnu.
His third act is over, so says Lord Byron.
