Without these proteins the bacteria cannot grow, replicate and increase in numbers. - chloromycetin Fri, 29 Oct 2010 06:19:07 +0100 http://www.cepr.net/index.php/blogs/beat-the-press/drug-patents-give-companies-like-glaxosmithkline-incentive-to-lie#comment-2791 Tucked away in our [url=http://www.timberland4you.co.uk/]timberland for you[/url] subconscious is an idyllic vision.

No Club Feds for the order-issuers. Civil liability or even criminal corporate liability would seem to fundamentally inadequate as a deterrent. - urban legend Mon, 19 Jul 2010 11:04:21 +0100 http://www.cepr.net/index.php/blogs/beat-the-press/drug-patents-give-companies-like-glaxosmithkline-incentive-to-lie#comment-1546 The standard libertarian position on this issue is that it's all caused by the FDA. The supposedly tough safety regulations create a "gold standard" that acts as a barrier to entry, thus protecting Big Pharma from competition, also presented as a barrier to consumer choice by those who want to take more risk for potential cures. Baker's position that patents instead are driving the problem draws hysterical cries of even more government intervention and claimed failure, but interestingly they never refute his simple observation that when unit price is tens, hundreds or even thousands of times over unit production cost, the result is massive inefficiency and perverse incentives. They're stuck in the traditional carrot and stick framework of incentives that has broken down completely in this market, that patents are necessary before any drugs would be developed and produced at all, because they can't grasp that carrots can come from other sources. - izzatzo Fri, 16 Jul 2010 05:29:58 +0100 http://www.cepr.net/index.php/blogs/beat-the-press/drug-patents-give-companies-like-glaxosmithkline-incentive-to-lie#comment-1544 Thank you, Dean, for continually refreshing for us the solutions to the health-care crisis in your valuable "Conservative Nanny-State". - fuller schmidt Fri, 16 Jul 2010 04:33:27 +0100 http://www.cepr.net/index.php/blogs/beat-the-press/drug-patents-give-companies-like-glaxosmithkline-incentive-to-lie#comment-1539 oy vey- doesn't the nyt believe in context?- fact is, glaxo was already sued for covering up research implicating paxil as dangerous, and so this "lesson" is historically redundant- and, as any research 101 class will tell you, any study 'sponsored' by a drug company is suspect because of bias, regardless of past behavior or patents or naive starstruck reporters - frankenduf Fri, 16 Jul 2010 03:07:00 +0100 http://www.cepr.net/index.php/blogs/beat-the-press/drug-patents-give-companies-like-glaxosmithkline-incentive-to-lie#comment-1525 Pam Geller of Atlas Shrugs tells us that the economy collapsed at the end of 2007 because the Obama Administration-to-be was engaging in an October Surprise conspiracy!

Socialists don't trust any corporations further than the access they have to the corporate books. Delusional idealogues, maybe, but not Socialists. Socialists would gladly aid in the takedown of a corporation that traded product safety for profits if any of our "leaders" had the gumption to give it a try. Trouble is, there aren't any gutsy leaders and not nearly enough Socialists to make it happen. There aren't even enough honest journalists to inform the public of the patent scams the drug companies use to put patients' lives in danger. - Queen of Sheba Thu, 15 Jul 2010 17:39:43 +0100
