Can you believe it. We're going to solve it!

Somehow this reminds me of one of the stocks The Wolf of Wall Street would sell me

Multiple != all

I can only imagine how much poor rats are dying in the process of developing this. We deserve diseases.
>>54536117
the problem with this is that it's going to take a long time to be fully developed into a viable method of preventing diseases, since not even the most basic medication is available to some part of the population this solution is not bound to eradicate viruses. Maybe if the pharmaceutical business was different we could pay more atenttion to this, but you should know that it's going to take millions upon millions of dollars to develop the treatment and it's still not fully guaranteed to work on each and every virus and also, the treatment is probably going to be very expensive.

We're going to get lots of things we deserve before long. It'll be a hell of a ride.

So is IBM becoming a healthcare company now? they certainly are doing a lot of work in that area.

You're so fucking stupid and hypocritical I don't even know where to begin. The only way retards like you make sense to me is if you're just virtue signalling like crazy-- but then that makes you a despicable shit instead of just a retard.

They're a multinational conglomerate who hold major market share in the mainfram industry whilst also researching and developing many different scientific projects.

What are some /g/ approved companies that are leaders and innovators in tech? IBM? GE? Aplel?
>>54536209
Are you vegan? Because a lot more animals get slaughtered for food, than for testing. Even though we don't need to eat meat.
I haven't read the article, but I imagine that a lot of these tests were done in vitro and didn't involve live animals.

Since when did IBM do biology?
>>54541237
You don't really need to do biology to develop stuff that could have applications in biology. Haven't read the article, but developments in one field aren't always restricted for use in specifically one field.
Also, a lotta companies are working on biology cause physics is slowly becoming purely scholastic in nature. Biology is the future. Google does it too, under Alphabet.

Absolutely disgusting, for Popper's sake.
>>54541237
it's probably going to be done in conjunction with a pharma company, like novartis (which they're about to lose the contract on, so probably need some good PR to keep it going).

When you see this word in media reporting, translate it to something like

How do you kill something that isn't alive?

They are literally chemical bots, with DNA inside, dipshit

>>54542118
I can ensure you that the people who are testing on lab rats usually actually care about them. At least in the first world.
>>54536209
>We deserve diseases
Then sign in for their tests.
