Why don't we have a "Nato" for medical research?

As in every nation pays a % of their GDP per year into a worldwide group that does medical research on behalf of all?

The current for profit system really isn't working.

Because medicine isnt an essential utility, unlike food, water, electricity, jobs, transportation, safety, and housing.

There are several research programs that involve several countries at the same time and regulate things like the WHO, but there is no need for something akin to NATO because the point of research is being open about it while the point of the military is to be secretive.

It would be more effective, to cooperate, but people and cooperation are two sides of different coin.

Because there's no oil to be obtained from research that benefits humanity.

I am wondering why we don't have scientists in charge of everything.

Jeff bezos was a fucking book mongler, he's probably clueless about medicine and just listens to old senile crusty doctors up their own ass and glitzy hype men selling the latest population-poisoning ssri, which will not take him anywhere

Because they would be same way dumb if they ware in charge we would have nobody to blame.

Amazing how it doesn't even occur to you that without more doctors costs will remain the same or increase

Amazing how it doesn't occur to you that the government won't see any point in surpressing cheap effective treatments and making up a bunch of marked up proprietary drugs that only keep you alive but still sick enough to have to pay again

What is actually amazing is that you are so brainwashed that you think everything a government does has to be directly financially profitable.
