Re: Donald Trump’s first 100 days, and beyond, for biopharma
Silicon Valley VC types are also the ones peddling supplements and nootropics (brain enhancing drugs) of extremely dubious value. They excel at marketing and not so much the science part of actually creating effective drugs. They basically want a license to sell snake oil. And considering how much money is spent every year on nutritional supplements of little value, I dare say they might be successful.
Imagine drug comparisons devolving into the kind of partisan heat that dominates our politics - that's what will happen when the FDA is removed as the gatekeeper, and everyone has their own independent studies to show their drug "works." A perfect reflection of the post-factual world we now live in.
