Seems like a poor country like Thailand would do better focusing on common illnesses. Hepatitis would be a great start. DENGUE perhaps.

The greatest disease facing this country is not rare but quite common, it's corruption and unfortunately there is no medicine to cure it!

i hope they start with "bar girl cough".

 

i read on the internet they all seem to have it.

as you previously replied to me , after  you made that request , you voided your request , otherwise i wouldnt be replying to you, yet, you would be replying to me

Will the TM30 Twitch be addressed in this latest round of cures?

big pharma does not invest in rare diseases, it does not bring in enough cash for the shareholders

 

scare people into taking chemical pills and vaccines , there is the big money

 

does one person deserve to get a million dollar per year of some special medicine, specially if that person will never be productive  and other people will diseases that can be helped, will be left out ?
