Our Operation Warp Speed project is a high priority at UP because it will save lives, lower health costs, and encourage billions of dollars more at-Risk private investment into new drugs and vaccines.
To quote today’s New York Post article by Phillipson and Moore:
Why must American patients wait years, suffering with and even dying of potentially curable illnesses, while bureaucrats put treatments through the evidentiary wringer?
It costs $2 billion or more to bring each successful drug to market, given that about 90% of them must be abandoned during the lengthy FDA process.
The government’s byzantine and unpredictable approval procedures thus divert billions of dollars of vital and scarce investment capital away from drugs that could cure cancer, heart disease, emphysema and other killer ailments.
The humane thing to do is let patients who are suffering from these diseases try promising new drugs to potentially save their lives. We think RFK Jr. and Donald Trump would be fully on board.
