Recently leaked corporate memos show once again that pharmaceutical companies always put profit over health. The recent example of Gilead shows how the pharmaceutical industry uses patent law to stifle medical progress and hurt the public.
Well I guess it is if you count meth / crack as pharma.
In terms of researching new therapeutic drugs I don't think most people would be able to be contributors if they don't have multi million dollar labs on hand.
maybe not drug discovery but my fever dream showed me a world where there are thousands of comrade chemists and pharmacists making and freely distributing already-known pharmaceuticals to people who need them, free of charge
drug discovery can and should continue to be done via public funding after the pharmaceutical companies are nationalized. this was also a scene from my dream.
open source pharmapunk scene should be a thing. hell it could be a thing already for all I know
