Just by way of comparison, the criminal penalties were close to $20 billion dollars over twenty years, but 75%, or $15 Billion of that was in the past five years. That's three billion dollars per year in penalties..
... research on Parkinson's is $200 Million per year. (Of course the money would have to be for all types of medical research, not just Parkinson's....) Another comparison - the $15 Billion in fines and penalties over 5 years would fund Parkinson's research at its present levels for the next 75 years. Or, of we DOUBLED the budget for PD research, the fund would still last for 37 years.
But of course the money goes to the government. As with Pharma , what incentive does government have to fight these diseases when it brings them in billions per year. The pills that we take are feeding an awful lot of people who don't care if we starve. The billions of dollars are collected by increasing the cost of the pills. Government and Pharma divide up the cash.
It's a big industry that is profitable for everyone except us.
