I gotta admit I hate the framing of this as âCuba vs the US.â Cuba coming up with a treatment is commendable. The US coming up with many treatments is commendable. This is fucking medical science, not politics.
This is fucking medical science, not politics.
Everything is politics. Especially when everything you try to do is hampered by stupid and/or abusive politics, such as the embargo.
Youâre right that coming up with the drug is in itself commendable, but youâre wrong in implying that coming up with it while under the embargo doesnât make it even MORE impressive.
The US is Sabotaging healthcare science long-term with itâs bullshit. We would be better off if it turned into a new Athlantic.
The US embargo against Cuba is political as well.
The US politicians turning a blind eye on the lives destroyed by for-profit healthcare are political as well.
Donât forget how the amount of doctors is restricted by law by Congress, determined by Congress.
It is all politics. Your fucking life is going to be even more political soon meaning miserable cause of some policies. I hate it when people are like âduh I am not into politicsâ.
The US coming up with anything is not commendable because we literally always overcharge wildly for life saving treatments and let anyone who canât afford them die
Idk, the rest of the world generally gets them at a reasonable pricing
The narratives and optics molds reality just as material conditions molds the think-being of a person.
In the age of social media warfare this is a tactic that governments from capitalist and AES use to change the collective minds of the masses, gain their favor. China has done it the boring way, Cuba needs to act quickly when cornered by this moribund rabid dog known as the US government.

The US and their horrible system have worked against science on many occasions.
