So, should we be giving massive doses to Hillary whose golden campaign suit color masquerades a deadly virus?

Since statins are largely harmful, maybe they really have a purpose in this limited application.

"methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus killed an estimated 19,000 Americans in 2005" Sounds high.

This seems to have patent related issues as well. Big picture stuff. Here's my thinking -- PATENTS are grants of the sovereign, in industry they are for a monopoly in the production, and/or distribution of a good. A "good" here means a item that is packaged and sold, and perhaps also produced and invented.
We have come to think of patents as the fair proceeds due an inventor -- that the inventor or initial creator/discoverer has some inherent right to the ownership of his created property.
That is a totally FALSE ideation, a way of thinking without practical merit -- and as time as shown -- very toxic to the process of discovery of new things.
Here is a case of an old drug out of patent that perhaps should be returned to patent. That is to say in order to make it cheaply and reliably we may want to auction off or otherwise give out a few patents of a set duration for its exclusive manufacture.
