Actually I have wondered on occasion who funds the drug studies that aren't funded by the manufacturer. The FDA?
Mostly universities, I think.
You can't open the book of my life and jump in the middle. Like woman, I'm a mystery.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Lord, that's just about the most depressing sentence I've ever read. Go watch some James Bond!
I know, I know. OK.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Oo, that looks like something I should get. Thanks, Suela.

Universities do the research, but it's mostly federal money, no?

I know they tend to run the studies, but do they actually fund them? University researchers and professors generally bring research money in from outside.

I think it's NIH.

And I'm pretty sure the Alzheimer's Association is the largest non-government funder of Alzheimer's research, but I don't know how much drug research is a part of that.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
So the rabidly anti-vax nutwhack in my fb circle now has to deal with an outbreak of whooping cough in her kid's school. I don't want or need the drama of pointing out "YOUR FAULT, BITCA", so I'll just be petty and vent it here.
