Everything we have published, best first. The front page has the projects and the short version of the argument.
Oxford tested COVID treatments for $500/patient and saved a million lives in 100 days. The NIH spent $1.6B and completed zero trials in four years. Only 3.3% of its budget tests cures.
IRS already has your data; automating returns could save $191 billion. Instead, they make you spend 13 hours transcribing what they know and threaten prison if you miscalculate.
Your governments possess nuclear weapons sufficient to end civilization 122 times but have not cured Alzheimer's once. This treaty requires them to be 1% more rational.
The FDA's efficacy testing kills 3,070 people for every 1 it saves. 102 million dead since 1962. That's 17 Holocausts, but with better paperwork.
Only 21,000 of 1.162 quadrillion possible drug combinations tested. Would take 3.2 billion years at current pace. Earth is 4.5 billion years old.
Governments claim $68B on "medical research" but only $4.5B goes to clinical trials—56 cents per human. That's a 604:1 military-to-cure ratio. We spend more on pet food than on not dying.
A root cause failure analysis to show why the world's largest medical research institution only allocates 3.3% of its budget to testing which of the thousands of known-safe treatments actually work in humans. Oxford tested COVID treatments for $500 per patient and saved a million lives in 100 days. The NIH spent $1.6 billion and completed zero trials in four years.
Oxford spent $500/patient and found a $1 steroid saves 1/3 of COVID deaths in 100 days. US trials cost $41,000/patient. That's 82x worse, and people die waiting. The cure was from 1957.
6,650 diseases have zero FDA-approved treatments. Pragmatic trials cost $929 vs $41,000. Scale them up and you get $0.84 per DALY. That's cheaper than a Mars bar. Why haven't we done this?
