Everything costs 82 times more than it should. Efficiency is for other industries.
It costs $41,000 to include one person in a study. That's more than most people make in a year.
To make one new drug costs $1.6 billion. Then they charge sick people to pay it back.
Between 21,000 and 120,000 people die every decade because the paperwork takes too long.
85% of sick people can't join trials. Apparently they're not sick in the right way.
95% of diseases have no cure. We're really good at the other 5%, though.
It takes 17 years from 'we found a cure!' to actually getting it. Most of us will be dead by then.
166 billion possible cures exist. We've tested approximately none of them.
2 billion people are sick right now. The system is working exactly as designed.
We haven't cured a major disease in 44 years. But don't worry, we're very busy.

When you stop making people fill out paperwork and start letting them not die, something magical happens:
$463 returned for every $1 invested
Not a typo. Not a fever dream. Actual math.
This beats humanity's previous greatest hits in the "not dying" genre:
WHERE THE MONEY MATERIALIZES FROM:
When you redirect money from bad stuff (like nuclear weapons) to good stuff (like medical research), the return on investment becomes infinite.
The 1% Treaty redirects military spending to fund DIH + dFDA at zero net cost to society.
ROI = $147B / $0 = ∞
Other health interventions (shown for comparison) are invisible at this scale.
Where the $163B Appears From
The Part That Sounds Fake But Isn't:
Math says this is the best possible use of a billion dollars.
Math is rarely wrong about money. People are frequently wrong about money.
This is why math gets to make the rules.
Charts, breakdowns, and all the nerdy details
For every dollar humanity spends curing disease, about forty dollars go to weapons and military systems. Pragmatic trials inside standard healthcare are ~82× more efficient than traditional trials.
If 1% of global military spending were hypothetically reallocated to these ultra-efficient trials, speeding medical progress by an estimated 115× (two thousand years of progress in twenty),
