“Drugs are not expensive because we are evil, they are expensive because we are stupid.”
The simple fact is that we still haven’t figured out the workings of biological systems– the human body in this case – to an extent that allows us to rationally and predictably modify, mitigate or cure their ills using small organic molecules. That we have been able to do so to an unusually successful degree is a tribute to both human ingenuity and plain good luck. But there’s still a very long way to go; there are very few diseases for which we truly have drugs that are almost always efficacious and have little to no side effects. -- The Curious Wavefunction
