Do you ever think about who "they" are?
I know a handful of people from college and life that are pharamcists, scientific researchers, genetics people...Some of them got into the profession because of the paycheck, but I'll wager more researchers than not got into the fields to research diseases to CURE them, not to make money for a company. Hell, the Republicans and Democrats who run "the govt" can't agree that water is wet.
If you become a researcher because your mother has Parkinsons disease, or your little sister has Cistic Fibrosis, You're busting your ass to CURE that disease.
Today, if 2 people know something, its not going to be a secret. When people quit, retire, get fired, become disgruntled...they throw all of the dirty laundry into public.
There is ZERO chance than "Big Pharm" or "the govt" can keep these things (cures for terrible diseases) under their hat....because "THEY" are made up of individual people, who go to work every day to do a job. Some go to work for the paycheck, but many have good intentions for a greater good. There is just no way to hide that.
If I'm a researcher because my sibling/child has Autism...and I'm part of a team that finds a cure...its not being hidden from the world.
This stuff to me is right up there with "the govt" did 911 so we could go to war" arguements.

You're really messing up the tinfoil hats...
