What? Me worry? I forget.

There's been years, if not decades, of conflict between PhARMA and the Rest of Us over the contribution to new drugs by the Damn Gummint and academia and other NGOs. One study found 100% of new drugs over a decade or so were based on foundational findings from that group. In other words, drug companies steal from the commons. Of course they do.

Overall, NIH funding contributed to research associated with every new drug approved from 2010-2019, totaling $187 billion.

So, as you might expect here, comes yet another research finding from academia that drug companies will attempt to leverage without sharing the fruits. We'll see. May be drug companies will hope we forget?

The study from Dr Nicholas Ashton, of the University of Gothenburg, and colleagues is published in the Jama Neurology journal.
