“The world is entering the next big wave of medical and pharmaceutical breakthroughs.
The first wave began with the widespread use of vaccines and antibiotics in the 1940s and 1950s, which caused death rates in the industrialized world to plummet.
The second wave of breakthroughs occurred with the introduction of statins, treatments for HIV/AIDS, and the refinement of chemotherapy drugs in the 1990s.
Since that time, however, we’ve generally seen a period of incremental progress with few huge breakthroughs.
To be clear: This steady improvement in established fields of pharmacology has helped expand our understanding and provided more effective treatments to people with a variety of diseases. Steady and meaningful incremental improvement is still definitely positive.”
