Cuba Develops Potential Cancer Vaccine

Johnson & Johnson will never let you have it.
 
Who will pay for the hundred million or so to get it approved?

You do realize that if the drug actually works and doesn't get approved in the US people will just go overseas to get treated, right?

Big Pharma can't stop this no matter how much they might want to.

There are plenty of ways to keep something like this off the market, and if all else fails they'll just buy it and refuse to produce.

The only way to stop that is if the original researchers release their data. If they want cash for it, same old same old...
 
This quote would put the US to shame
"Despite decades of economic problems and the U.S. trade embargo, Cuba has been a model of public health. According the New York Times, life expectancy for Cubans is 79 years, on par with the United States, despite the fact that its economy per person is eight times smaller. "
 
The business of the U.S. Health system is to make money, not cure people, and they are very very very very good at it.
 
Great little country with amazing potential---years lost because of right wing morons in this country---the gop cuban hate lobby in Miami---rubio is one of those morons.

They've already published. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18349395

This vaccine isn't new. It has been under development in Cuba for 25 years. The information is out there.

It does look very promising. This has the potential to help quite a lot of people.

How is it that a much smaller, poorer nation could come up with this? Lack of regulations for testing? Or perhaps publishing medical research in the US is heavily skewed..

That hundred million or so is usually spent by drug companies on themselves.
When justifying their markups, they go full Hollywood accounting.
 
Just a small correction, there will never be a vaccination for "cancer" since that describes a whole class of disease that just shares common characteristics. This is a potential vaccine for a specific type of lung cancer. Of course other types of cancers could have similar breakthroughs, but would need separate research.

No, it has nothing to do with regulations. And the Cubans have been publishing their findings over the past 25 years in American medical journals.

The USA has no monopoly on knowledge. This just happened to be a line of investigation that occurred to someone in Cuba, and has panned out. The Cubans have certainly not had the resources to study the vaccine that a group in the USA imight have had, but their socialized medical delivery system makes the conduction of studies cheaper than they could have been done in the USA. In such systems, you can often get access to large numbers of patients instantly, because the system is centrally controlled.

No, the regulations of the Food and Drug Administrations are so strict that a new drug must undergo a series of tests and clinical trials before it approved for sale. The process alone costs many millions of dollars and usually takes years.
 
Well this should make Benvolio's head explode.
