Same with the cure for Hep C.
Absolutely. If you have the money you can buy drugs that boast 95%+ cure rates. If you don't, you'll get cirrhosis, liver cancer, and die. The only reason why the pharma companies even came out with these cures is because of all the wealthy people who have hep c and are willing to shell out $60k-$100k for a treatment. 5 years ago, the only treatment was the same as for HIV - interferon which was only successful about 50% of the time with terrible side effects during the 6 month treatment. Now we have 3 different medicines all boasting over 95% with some even getting to the 97%-99% effectiveness and 3-4 month treatments with minor side effects.
The difference with Trump is that he is not the typical corporate type. In his book, Art of the Deal, he specifically states that he never wanted to be like a corporate CEO but rather an entrepreneur - hence why he chose Wharton instead of Harvard. Trump made good property investments and pounced on good deals. He is for fair trade - not monopoly and not for government interference in business - like the pharma allied FDA for one. Trump benefitted off the government's ineptitude to manage properties - he did not use the government to create a monopoly and prohibit competition.
Let's not forget that now people cannot sue doctors or pharma companies for adverse effects of vaccines on their children. Even some British doctors suggested a strong link between measles and rubella vaccines and autism. One thing is certain, when the vaccination schedule changed in 1989 the rates of developmental diseases and disorders in children skyrocketed. A child born on his 1st day receives a dose of mercury suitable for a 250 lb male in vaccines.
