    What I love most about this, is that it was developed in one of those 'Socialist' nations where they don't have a for profit healthcare system.

    Kind of kicks the shit out of the claim that nothing will ever be invented unless there are billions to be made.

    Do they have any false positives? I only see the claim of no false negatives.

    Not sure what your point is, Roche is a Swiss multi-national and the second largest pharma company worldwide.

    The company controls the American biotechnology company Genentech, which is a wholly owned affiliate, and the Japanese biotechnology company Chugai Pharmaceuticals, as well as the United States-based Ventana. Roche's revenues during fiscal year 2018 were 56.85 billion Swiss francs,[4] or approximately US$57 billion. Roche is the second-largest pharmaceutical company worldwide.[5] Descendants of the founding Hoffmann and Oeri families own slightly over half of the bearer shares with voting rights (a pool of family shareholders 45%, and Maja Oeri a further 5% apart), with Swiss pharma firm Novartis owning a further third of its shares. Roche is one of the few companies increasing their dividend every year, for 2018 as the 32nd consecutive year.[4] F. Hoffmann-La Roche is a full member of the European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations (EFPIA).[6]

    This is probably closer to what you were thinking!

    British researchers could know by June if the coronavirus vaccine they are working on is effective, Oxford University’s Sir John Bell said on NBC News’ Meet the Press on Sunday. Bell said that the data so far on the vaccine was “pretty good” and “as every day goes by, the likelihood of success goes up.” Bell said that there should be significant evidence from the second phase of the trials by June.

    Not sure why you didn't understand my point. I was pretty clear.

    Every day we see another drug maker in the U.S who refuses to manufacture a drug that comes off patent. Lately, they're backing way from antibiotics, because they make more money from a drug that you must take every day for life. Last time, it was chemo meds.

    The argument for our heinous for profit system, is that nothing would ever be invented without the promise of huge returns.

    Every time a new breakthrough comes out of Europe, it dispels that theory.

    Roche is hardly a charity or a non profit company.

    This is closer to what he's talking about, worth pointing out that Astra Zeneca wouldn't even exist if the hostile bid by Pfizer had succeeded.

    There was some good news last week. Oxford University’s Jenner Institute announced it was teaming up with AstraZeneca to take a promising prototype of coronavirus vaccine into volume production by the autumn. Of course there are caveats – the institute’s confidence in its vaccine may not be validated by the trials that began last week.

    Still it was heartening, after so much tragic incompetence, that a British university and a British company could forge a relationship of such potential national importance.

    AstraZeneca’s recent history also tells a cautionary tale – pointing to how our financial, ownership and banking ecosystem is fundamentally decadent. But it also points to a story of promise: if we can be as fast as we’ve been in developing a potential vaccine, in building Nightingale hospitals and in learning to live online, perhaps we can repurpose the British financial system just in time.

    The cautionary tale: Britain very nearly did not have AstraZeneca. If six years ago the company had not had some lucky breaks it would not now exist, taken over by the US drug company Pfizer that had no parallel commitment to sustaining drug research in Britain. It was and is run by a Frenchman, Pascal Soriot, passionate about medicine (his three brothers are doctors), who knew the long-term value of the company, did not accept that the share price was all and was backed by an unexpectedly determined board. What’s more, the company being half Swedish – the result of an EU-driven merger between the Swedish Astra and the best of the old ICI – it had the unwavering support of long-term shareholders, notably the Wallenberg family holding. They, together with some unfashionably long-term British shareholders, held the line.

    It was a close-run thing. David Cameron’s government won some worthless promises from Pfizer, but it said it would not stand in the way of “market forces”, whatever the company’s strategic importance. No thanks to it, but rather those long-term shareholders, Britain now has one of the world’s great drug companies, beginning to flourish while Pfizer is in the doldrums. Its value is crystal clear.
