Okay so how come the public sector doesn’t release cures for chronic disorders? Fred Banting discovered insulin at the University of Toronto, how come he didn’t discover a cure?
There is some truth to it, though. Big Pharma hates to develop vaccines because they aren’t big money-makers. The most you have to take a vaccine is once a year, and many of them you only need to take once in your entire life. That’s why the government has to dump a big pile of cash onto them whenever they need a vaccine. They would much rather put R&D into a pill that you have to take every day.
The USA capitalist system effectively worships money more than God. It’s not a conspiracy theory so much as a not unwarranted suspicion about for-profit drug companies’ likely motivations and priorities. The only thing potentially keeping that at bay is the threat of someone else disrupting their cash flow with an actual cure - although that doesn’t prevent them from burying cures they find themselves unless it benefits them, or significantly disadvantages a major competitor.
Doc can’t CURE you because pharma only invests in drugs to MANAGE illness.* Because that gets them paid forever, not just once.
What would a cure for ADHD even look like?

Extremely lazy conspiracy theory
