No government would be stupid enough to let that happen. Not Thatcher, Blair, Cameron or even dare I say Boris. it would cause revolt, no way to hide that in the media.
The problem for the UK is that we've ****ed ourselves over by leaving the EU and choosing a deal with Trump instead. Donny is frothing that EU countries can negotiate cheap drugs for their healthcare systems. And in any UK/US trade deal, that arrangement that NICE have spent years perfecting to bring us cheap drugs is under threat 'The Trump administration has directed the Office of the US Trade Representative to leverage trade agreements to target alleged “foreign free-riding”—in effect, pushing for trading partners to pay more for originator medicines.' https://www.bmj.com/content/369/bmj.m1332
That’s a fact. I can understand why you and others on this board find that truth uncomfortable, because it completely undermines the trust you’ve placed in the lies you have been fed. And yet you continue to advocate and promote restrictions that compound these issues. A leading professor of immunology and virology has stated, without any room for misinterpretation, that locking healthy people down is ridiculous and completely pointless. All it does is prolong the effects. Here we can agree. Our Government’s performance on “track and trace” has been abysmal. That said, if you look at the actual science behind the PCR test, it is useless, to all practical purposes. That isn’t conspiracy, it comes from the Nobel Prize winner who invented it. Perhaps you know better than him? Practically everything I have heard you say about the virus and the Government’s response to it is in line with the propaganda nonsense spouted by the MSM. Please stop misrepresenting me. I have posted links to people who have quoted exclusively from official statistics and medical research papers. A recent thread of mine was removed. It is unfortunate, because one of the videos I linked to was compiled by a very intelligent man, who drew upon the recent work of eminent medical academics. This is the problem. You follow the brainwashing and then claim that you haven’t been brainwashed, all the while ignoring the evidence and opinions of the real experts. Regardless of your best attempts to ignore the facts and the truth, it is slowly but steadily emerging, and no amount of suppression of it by the MSM will stop it coming out.
The exclusivity in the U.K. is 6 years iirc, compared to 8 in the States. Big Pharma argue that without the patent protection they can’t justify the investment, but it makes certain drugs eye wateringly expensive, especially if they’re for conditions that will generate a relatively small but nonetheless vital market for the product. The actual development costs are a matter of debate, especially when you factor in how much input our educational establishments add to the pot, often with little or no IP rights as their reward, as many of them are commercially clueless.
Four more added, cheers bud. I thought I'd have to actually do some hunting to find some nutjob to fill this in for me but if you could just keep it up for a bit longer I'll have house:
Can't see any new ones amongst this lot. Is it a national game, where the prize is a speed boat or something?
