We can mass-produce the majority of these new drugs once the basic formula has been worked out. We produce all kinds of generic drugs; and illegal designer drugs of all sorts are being manufactured here, in Europe, and shipped in from labs China. If methamphetamines and fentanyl can be produced for a few cents a pill, so can specialty drugs. What is stopping us from doing so? Sheer greed on the part of the CEOs of the companies involved (and their political helpers). Once the expensive and time-consuming research is done, the manufacturing part should be routine. Surely, we can have a policy of fair return on investment vs. the gouging we have now.
