    The public through taxation. The researchers get the money through grants that go through peer-review, just like NIH and NSF grants in the US.

    Here's the thing: that research is not incentivized to make money, it's incentivized to be good for society as a whole. So, rather than creating drugs and then trying to create a market for said drugs (which I understand is a large part of what big pharma does in the US), they focus on things that actually help society.

    Do you think that products meant to make money can be helpful for society?
