A600KiloBear, you claim that starwolf’s source is biased. What is your source for the assertion that most medical advances are funded by industry? And which industries are funding these advances?
It is likely true that research for many new drug therapies is funded privately. But the basic science that is behind most medical advances is funded publicly by the NIH. Consider the past 20 or so Nobel Laureates in medicine & physiology: most of their research was not funded by industry.
