Wondering what everyone's thoughts are on the impact of privatising research in relation to antibiotic resistance? Publicly funded research created the overwhelming majority of our discoveries in the past hundred years (everything from plastic to the internet and covid vaccines). But the pharma companies don't invest in AMR research because it's not profitable for them. What do you think? :)

Living through late-stage capitalism is rough and everyone else is unbothered. So I took that energy and wrote about the antibiotic crisis we're seemingly not going to survive because corporate greed goes above all else. Curious to hear your thoughts and to discuss!
