we need to move beyond patent monopolies as the mechanism for financing drug development. We know intellectual-types are scared of new ideas, but Moderna showed that direct public funding can work. I discuss this in ch 5 of Rigged [it's free] https://t.co/HfhMSphBPr

Patent monopolies are a terrible method for developing anything that’s not boner pills or hair loss reversal crapola for insecure Boomer dudes.
Anyone who defends that model is either a shill or an intellectual Superfund site. If the pandemic hasn’t shown you that, you’re a halfwit. More like 7/65 wit.
