Really? There is an amazing amount of research going on every day all over the world. Rightfully it takes a lot of time and testing to bring new therapies to mainstream use. Go back just 20 years and look at how far things have come, immunotherapy, gene therapy, hpv immunisation to eradicate cervical cancer, better diagnosis, screening and drugs.

We have been, it's just been very slow and you don't hear much about small steps with everything else going on.

America and others should give tax credits for R&D and penalties for advertising and stock buybacks.

Because it's not profitable. The industries make the most money from sick people who don't get better

The only conceivable way would be to invoke change at the source. You would need to influence or infiltrate the highest powers involved in the decision making there. Since this would require you to be a industry relevant billionaire and it can't be done with politics especially when payoffs are involved, good luck is all I can say. But I'm just a philosopher, not a miracle worker.
