This is the most depressing thing I've ever read. We could be close to a cure for ALL VIRUSES but the research failed due to LACK OF FUNDING. What's the justification for this shit? This crisis would have never happened.
>DRACO (double-stranded RNA activated caspase oligomerizer) is a group of experimental antiviral drugs formerly under development at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. In cell culture, DRACO was reported to have broad-spectrum efficacy against many infectious viruses, including dengue flavivirus, Amapari and Tacaribe arenavirus, Guama bunyavirus, H1N1 influenza and rhinovirus, and was additionally found effective against influenza in vivo in weanling mice.[1] It was reported to induce rapid apoptosis selectively in virus-infected mammalian cells, while leaving uninfected cells unharmed.
>As of January 2014, work had moved to Draper Laboratory for further testing and development; "the team looks forward to larger scale animal trials and clinical human trials within a decade or less".[2] Dr. Todd Rider presented at the SENS Foundation's SENS6 conference.[3] He left the Draper Laboratory in May 2015 and started a crowdfunding campaign at Indiegogo to raise funds to test the drugs against the herpesvirus and retrovirus families.[4] In total it was predicted that $500,000 per year for 4 years would be needed to optimise and demonstrate DRACOs against clinically relevant viruses[5], however, two crowdfunding campaigns for $90,000 both failed to reach their target in 2016.
>As of December 2015, research related to DRACOs had ground to a halt due to a lack of funding.
Lack of Funding for Research. WHY?!

Billionaires gonna billion.
No, no one cared to fund it. No one. They tried to just make a crowd funding campaign and no one bothered.
What's the problem with funding it now? This could still progress but we're just going to shelve it?

there is no money in curing people. there is lots of money feeding you the same drug for the rest of your life.
climate change OP climate change.
Can't sell expensive meds/treatment if there is some cure all running around user.
>Money solves all problems
Standing on your head like that will give you these sorts of reversed views on things.
>cure
Back to /x/ nutbag
Why the fuck is this an /x/ thing? This is a viable drug that may stop all virus infections but it was abandoned.
it stopped specifically because of lack of funding.
>Please ignore the massive scandals and corruption in research, money money money.
Constant streams of miracle drugs that promise to cure everything pouring into publications with begging letters attached. Get a fucking clue.
We need mild viruses like common cold and flu to kill 90 year old bedridden people. Keeping them alive until they are 150 is too expensive.
This drug was studied at MIT and has positive in-vitro results and animal testing. They understand the mechanism in how the drug works you fucking spic mouth breather.
>We need mild viruses like common cold and flu to kill 90 year old bedridden people. Keeping them alive until they are 150 is too expensive.
So we should then keep viruses like Ebola, Hanta, Corona and HIV because some old people need to go "Logan's Run"?
Fuck that. Let's have a cure.
Oh wow MIT had it down pat, I'm now down with this like down syndrome.
This is only the billionth Royal Raymond Rife I've seen. It must be real.
You're Spanish. That's a slightly less retarded version of Portugal.
Unfortunate.
Do you think after losing trillions due to the lock down these billionaires would fund this kind of research?
>This is only the billionth Royal Raymond Rife I've seen.
Maybe in your shithole country, where your moorish rape-baby blood has still left you all with the uncontrollable urge to lie and swindle in matters of public business.
Not really, no, the Pharma in the US have both the money and the equipment to put this through final stages, it just gets in the way of the $$$.
This isn't /x/, and it's unfortunate you're too stupid to know the difference, but it's not a surprise. It is you, after all.
You would think that maybe the public would without asking, but it would take about 10 million people donating a dollar a piece.
Basically, about 0.2% of the globe donating 1USD would cover this through human trials, though I don't know if donations require paying tax, at which point it might be like .25% of the global population donating a buck each.
so, how do we make this shit happen?
Cures all known and unknown viruses. if it's made out of rna or dna that is not coiled into chromosomes, DRACO will cut it in half. That's it, it kills everything, it even passes through the blood brain barrier and kills viruses in the brain. when tested on mice it was effective for 10 days after dosing, which is incredible.
Fuuuuck. Why did MIT drop this? Why aren't they researching this?
