Seems that where the free market fails to find a way, the government can help fund a workaround.
Think flu vaccines to which no one is allergic, and that flu viruses can't mutate to circumvent. And since big pharma would rather spend their massive holdings on advertisement than innovation and R&D, that leaves you and me, the taxpayer to foot the bill.
