I have something important to say and I suspect it will be quite a long rant (that has nothing to do with mental illness etc). I hope that's ok.

It's all about money. It doesn't matter if it's pharmaceuticals, what kind of research is being funded or something else. It's all about money. It angers me. Maybe I'm being naive but I don't see how money is more important than treatment. I don't see how money is more important than developing new antibiotics or things we can replace antibiotics with. According to experts we're approaching a "post-antibiotic era" where we, if we keep this up, might not be able to treat diseases caused by bacterial infections that we'd normally treat with antibiotics (pneumonia, tuberculosis, urinary tract infections, sepsis etc) due to the fact that the bacteria will be resistant to the antibiotics available.

Money. Greed preventing research and new medical breakthroughs saddens me.

Rant over.
