The video says that the reason why "people worry it may be going too fast" is because they are experimental treatments that have had deaths linked to them, though it's like 10 seconds of a 2 minute video and isn't elaborated on. It's just the laziest way of trying to instill doubt into an unequivocally positive thing. Like, "a new treatment for cancer is being tried and it's had many successes but also some failures" as a headline on any news site would make you think "cool I guess" and then you'd scroll on; it wouldn't attempt to make you think "Oooo, looks like the American regime is trying and failing in their new attempt to cure cancer! Are they using some kind of modified rat poison that kills a lot of people in a genocide that they then hide the bodies from? Or is it leading to defects? Or other misunderstood effects? Is this a sign of destabilization and protest that will be a part of bringing down the government???"

Didn't the US pass a law a few years ago that researchers couldn't deny experimental drugs to patients who wanted then because of safety concerns?
Yup the "right to try" act but it didn't pass
Most states have their own https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right-to-try_law
If they think people dying from experimental treatments for cancer is bad wait until they hear about having cancer.
Authoritarian China forcing its people to recover from sickness, the horror the horror.

There is concern among researchers, regulatory experts and drugmakers themselves that allowing hospitals to market treatments for a fee could cause profit-making to trump ethical considerations

This seems like the money shot. What a way to phrase it by Bloomberg. Truly the least generous interpretation. This part is fucked up. It seems weird that this is a Chinese problem. Seems like business as usual for America though

Instead of the two to three weeks taken by current treatments from American and European drug makers, the Shanghai-based company — set up by a group of veteran Chinese cell-therapy researchers — is churning out cancer-killing immune cells overnight.
But at what cost?
But at what cost?
Gracell plans to price its CAR-T treatment for about 500,000 yuan ($71,000), well below the $475,000 price tag for Novartis’ Kymriah, the Swiss company’s CAR-T therapy used to treat the type of blood cancer that Zhang had
$400,000
lol churning out, what a choice of words. Yeah man, these unscrupulous Chinese are just churning out cheap vials of anticancer, who knows what the build quality on those things is amirite?
What do you mean are? I wake up, walk down to the factory, grab my shovel and start scooping piles of cancer-killing immune cells onto patients as they get passed down the conveyer belt. Because that's what real doctors do.
pretty sure someone here lathed this into existence
whats next? china is helping baby kittens, but at what cost?
