1) Here is your original claim with respect to salaries of medical researchers:
That is not wholly true....do some research and you'll see that budgets for research are MOSTLY taken up by the salaries for the researchers
Again, all you do is post the SALARIES of medical researchers. I pointed that out before, and all you do is repost it, clearly proving you are way beyond your level of comprehension. The claim is that MOST of the budgets for medical research go to salaries. Guess what, brainless - posting salaries does NOT show what the rest of the budget looks like, does it? A medical research facility could spend as much as 100 million dollars on salaries, but if their total budget is $1 billion dollars, then salaries would be only 10% of the budget. Your
BALD FACED FUCKING LIE claims that salaries are above 50% of medical research budgets (hint-that what the word MOSTLY means, in case you don't know...). Prove it, or admit your are a fucking liar.
You're repeating yourself, jackass.....which clearly demonstrates that unless someone pablum feeds you, you REFUSE to think. I gave you links that give you salaries because once you deduct ALL those related to a specific research project, THEN you begin to deciminate what's left over for everything else. I gave you links that show the actual costs of some equipment and then what's happening regarding rise in budgets and how that relates to research equipment, staff, etc. The competant reader looks at things comprehensively and draws a conclusion.....lazy blowhards like yourself wants it all layed out and simplistic. So once again, you keep trying to pass off your supposition and conjecture as fact WHILE IGNORING THE INFORMATION PROVIDED. Typical.
2) The example of Drr. Offit is an example of how someone in authority can misuse that authority to promote their own outside interests, which in this case was the doctor's vaccine. Had the doctor been able to promote and sell his vaccines without using his CDC authority, then there would be nothing wrong with the money generated by the sale of his vaccines.
No genius, as the quotation I provided shows, Dr. Offit was also part of a research team. Now, as you did in grade school, match what this article states as his stipends/bonuses from various sources for his research, plus what I sourced as an average salary for what a man in his position gets. Not only is Dr. Offit in a conflict of interest regarding the research, but he is making a profits that damn near match his grants for research...of which he is a part of.....back to square one...Offit is an example of how his salary is a hefty percentage of monies alloted for a research project in whole (go back to the payless....it also covers bonuses).

http://www.aibltd.com/ Oh goody. A link to s REFURBISHED medical instruments outlet. What does that prove, brainless? I am not shopping for medical equipment. However I do know (through an acquaintance of mine) some of the costs of consumable items, such as disposable pipette tips (they run from about 20 cents each to about $1.50 each.) know how many thousands of disposable tips are used daily by a medium size lab? Know how many MILLIONS of tips are used daily by a large facility?
Once again, you shut your parrot like mind to the obvious......I gave this as an EXAMPLE of equipment cost. This is keeping in step with my original point......these items are not CHEAP....neither is the example given by YOU. Now, if you had read the article that points to rising budget costs, then to the salary listing I have for private and gov't researchers, their expenses, perks....you deduce that salaries are taking a pretty hefty chunk out of funding. See bunky, when money is allocated, say $1 billion, you have to ask yourself.....how many staff? Is the grant for 1 year? 2 years? 3? Is COLA factored in? Bonuses? Expenses? The paylist I gave you also is a guide of what you have to ADD to get a total picture of what a researcher would be paid. Once again, you factor this in with the ONE TIME cost of equipment or the cost of occasionally replenishing chemicals, micellaneous materials...and that lump sum dwindles real fast. Did you ever stop to ask yourself why some research projects are consistently asking for public donations when the major equipment is seldom replaced?
http://www.medpagetoday.com/PublicHe...lthPolicy/1767: Do you read your own references, or is this another case of you not being able to comprehend what you read? The article is about increased spending in the area of medical research. It does not mention salaries. It does mention a shift in budgets spent on clinical trials, with less going to phase 3 trials, while the percentage of budgets for phsse 4 trials has doubled. (Which, BTW take up 39% of current research budgets BY THEMSELVES!!) Sorry, but you still have not proven your point, but only continue to show your reading comprehension abilities are substandard.
And How do you think the other 61% is divided up, mastermind? Especially if you factor in the TOTAL cost of staff salaries, as I indicated. What makes you think that salaries is NOT a major fraction of that 39%? Why don't you THINK before running off half assed? Comprehend ALL the material when you read, not just bits and parts (God, I'm tired of repeating this to willfully ignorant neocon parrots for almost a decade now).
4) Carry on liar. Now you try to claim your point is that salaries affect the overall budget. True. What are researchers supposed to do, work for free? Even if they were paid minimum wage, salaries affect the rest of the budget. And unless you can prove that multi-million dollar salries result from anything except a successful introduction of a new medical treatment (ie: gets past phase 4 trials into mass production) then all your claims are still so much hogwash.
See the above explanations, oh witless one. I never said anyone shouldn't get paid......the POINT I've been making is that salaries are THE primary reason for exhorbitant costs of medical research. Everything that you are wailing about requires staff that has to be paid....but the LEADING PHYSICIANS in the field get top dollar, bonuses, expenses. As I provided those salaries are a base......one can ASSUME that negotiations for COLA and such happen, but they sure as hell are not for LESS. And as the Offit example shows, there is always the possibility of conflict of interests where the extra money is made.
In short, you still have not shown research salaries to be 50% or greater of research budgets. You have not shown anyone who got rich of of a research salary. (Hint: Dr. Offit, regardless of how he sold his vaccine, still does not count because benefits from a successful invention is NOT a salary, nor does it come from research budgets.) This is YOUR claim, liar. Back it up or admit you lied.
Awe, you are so sweet.
I do know there are illegals in the mixture.
