  [We] would like to get rid of the clawback scheme … which charges us for our own success,

  Your own exploitation, you mean?

  Something like 95% of all meaningful pharmaceutical breakthroughs come from public academia

  More than anyone else, I really struggle to see any humanity in spin-doctors from the pharmaceutical industry. I’d say it’s pretty clearly inhumane to gouge the sick for profit.

  Great news!

  Our response should be to negotiate on copyright / trademark laws or whatever allows their fake monopolies then. If you don’t sell it at a reasonable cost we’ll allow others to make it for us as genetics

      That’s just because musk visited for 15 minutes and sucked up significant fraction of the total supply.

    No it’s the opposite in this case. This article is about a company crying because they want to charge more

    Drugs here are cheap as dirt, depending on which drugs you’re talking about.

    Pharmaceuticals are expensive. Meth and crack are practically free!

  Know what UK really needs right now? New experimental drugs.

  Yep.

    Tbf, those new cancer drugs do work wonders.

    Although we shouldn’t fold to their demands.

  I can see Streeting rolling over if the press play this story too much, which would mean saying good bye to price controls on medicines.
