[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Harvard has hundreds of billions in endowments. They can support their own programs without 9 biillion in government funds. [/quote]

Ok. And they will keep and retain all rights to their medical innovations, cancer treatments, etc., going forward. No more cheap labor for the government and no more technology available to them. Harvard can retain all rights.  Public can no longer re rice the benefits or vaccines developed by this private institution.

Who do you think makes the money on the vaccines developed so far? It is not the govmt. It is the private institutions. So why should the public fund this. Let big pharma fund it.[/quote]

Most vaccine research fails. Like almost all of it. The best they can do to have a snowballs chance is build on their failures where they have all of their proprietary data, and on all of the publicly funded research.  The "market" has not been able to solve research funding. That is why government funding is critical.

Now let's all be very honest with ourselves. Considering the stakes do you want Parkinson's research being done students at Harvard or by students  at our local community colleges? We can build the best and newest labs wherever we want but the best students and researchers want to congregate and work together. That is the great power of these schools. They are where our genius nerds can talk about folding proteins over breakfast cereal every morning with whoever happens to be sitting nearby. That doesn't happen at commuter colleges or at colleges where most students are learning 9-5 job skills[/quote]
