That’s because Cuba doesn’t have private pharma company.
Loopy marxist
How could anyone not stand in awe of all that Cuba has accomplished?
There have been numerous cancer treatments shut down to keep the multi billion dollar cancer industry going. The fact that it costs 12 thousand dollars just proves this is a method of and by pharmaceutical industry to continue those big profits.
It IS pretty shocking to cost $1000 a month but do you suppose it would cost that much for Cubans? If available here, would probably be ten times that or more. But what I meant was - if they are so much poorer than we are, how can they accomplish so much more in medicine and in education?
Our company was black listed by the US DoT and US based banks for no other reason but sending US patients to Cuba to seek live saving treatment.
How awful.
may be because the research in medicine an you in weapons?
Cuba is doing a wonderful thing for humanity and yet they will not receive a Nobel prize for it...
Cuba was already a shithole 6 years back and now is even worse lol
2 thumbs down from the lucrative chemo industry.
Gracias Fidel
I've always wandered why the U.S doesn't have a tax funded biopharma company. I don't mind the private pharmaceutical firms, but I think tax funded ones could create a more stable platform for medicinal development. Also fun fact, Cuba has such a high population of doctors, that people who are too sick to go to the doctor can instead be visited by one since there is a doctor within walking distance of every sick person.
Congratulations to CBC being one of the few Western Mainstream media to do this report.
When it comes to Cuba,
I do not listen to the narrative of the Western Media, but this is rare for one to cover.
You should be able to take any pharacuticals you want, government has NO right to stop you.
BULLOCK you are right, but the Cuban Embargo makes that forbidden since the 60s or 70s, when Cuba was a "Communist Threat"
@@RockScorpio9184 the embargo was established back in '62 during the missile crisis, but now the crisis is averted, the USSR is dead, so is Fidel, and Raul stepped down as head of state, yet the embargo is still up -_-
@@SparrowValentine my bro I really did not remember about this answer of mine, how the hell did you find it????
@@RockScorpio9184 well I was looking at an alternative history of Cuba when I saw this in the list and then scrolled down to the comments and saw your comment. Damn 3 years sounds long but the year was 2017... wtf is happening with life
@@SparrowValentine : The mafiosi, and the greedy right-wing capitalists are not allowed to operate in Cuba anymore...
Would like to know how is doing after therapy and 7 years? Hope he is doing relatively well
Yeah science.
They will soon corrupt . i hope that does not happen
This was 7 years ago! Is this drug in America today?
No! That would mean a cure and Big Pharma doesn’t make money on cures.
If he's expecting to continue all this smuggling and technically illegal activity for the foreseeable future and his life depends on it, why would he be willing to reveal his identity on TV and broadcast it? Seems like a risky move to me...
Nouvellecosse I think like that too, but probably he is trying to convince the government to stop the embargo
@@RockScorpio9184 Yes, I was thinking the same. With a potentially terminal disease he has nothing to lose. But a chance to extend his life and bring award to US citizens about vital products the embargo prevents us from accessing.
I was wondering about that too! But if he is dying and maybe he is wealthy enough to pay the fines and is willing to spread the word.
There's probably a lot of drugs not allowed in that few people knows about.
The U.S. Constitution permits a person to take any medication in order to preserve and prolong their own life. There is zero chance this man would ever be prosecuted for acquiring such medicine.
One little loophole in the "bloqueo" ...jeje
Cannot believe this guy vote fur Trump,but him live to Reget it,long live the Good people of the world.
