US-Europe Vaccine Companies: The most special thing about a vaccine is that it not only controls or reduces the disease, but taking it does not cause the disease at all. Now it is trending rapidly on social media that after the news of the start of human trials of the Russian vaccine, the pharma companies of America and Europe have come into shock.

Russia Cancer Vaccine: There is no need to fear cancer now. Now it will neither be fatal nor will you have to waste your lifelong savings in its treatment. Russia is going to conduct human trials of the cancer vaccine it has developed. That means Putin has emerged victorious in the world war against cancer. President Putin has also promised that this vaccine will be made available to the whole world on humanitarian grounds. Not only this, initially this vaccine will be made available free of cost.
American-European companies in tension
The most special thing about the vaccine is that it does not just control or reduce the disease, but taking it does not cause the disease at all. Now it is trending rapidly on social media that after the news of the start of human trials of the Russian vaccine, the pharma companies of America and Europe have come in shock. After all, what is the tension of the companies of America and Europe due to the arrival of the Russian vaccine, today we will analyze it.
According to a report from Russia's state news agency RT on Sunday, August 3, Russia is going to start human trials of a new vaccine against cancer in the next few months. According to Alexander Gintsburg, director of the Gamaleya Research Institute of Epidemiology and Microbiology, which created the COVID-19 vaccine Sputnik V and works on epidemics, this vaccine will be personalized. It cannot be used for anyone else. These tests will be conducted at the Moscow-based Hertson Research Institute and Blokhin Cancer Center, while the Gamaleya Research Institute will produce the vaccine.

Some people claim that the news of the Russian vaccine has made Western companies anxious. The argument is that Russia's promise of providing free vaccines may attract countries that cannot afford expensive American and European medicines. This may end the earnings of Western companies. What is the logic behind this claim? Before knowing this, we should know how big the business of cancer medicines is.
How much is the business of cancer medicines
The world cancer drug business was $203 billion in 2022, which is estimated to reach $400 billion by 2028. US and European companies control 60 to 65 percent of this market. US companies alone have a 45 to 50 percent share. Companies like Moderna, Merck, BioNTech, Roche, and Pfizer are leading in this field. In 2023, Merck's Keytruda drug sales alone were $25 billion and it was about 40 percent of the company's total revenue. That is, Merck company is earning 40 percent of its revenue from cancer drugs alone.
The question is, what is the problem for American and European companies with a one-time cure? The answer is that pharma companies have a monopoly on their medicines through patents. A permanent cure can affect the market for their existing medicines. On the other hand, the argument against this is that why any company would avoid finding a permanent cure. On the contrary, it will try to become a market leader by bringing it to the market.
Cancer treatment is expensive.
Another argument in favor of the conspiracy claim is that cancer treatment is long-term, which includes expensive procedures such as chemotherapy, radiation, and immunotherapy. For example, a single dose of Keytruda can cost up to $10,000, or Rs 8.5 to 9 lakh in Indian rupees. If cancer is cured by a one-time vaccine, it can reduce the demand for long-term treatment. In response to this, the argument is that pharma companies spend billions of dollars every year on research. In 2023, the expenditure on pharma R&D worldwide was more than $250 billion, with the highest expenditure in the field of oncology, that is, cancer. If companies were stopping treatment, why would they spend so much?
Some claim that pharmaceutical companies have suppressed cheaper or alternative treatments in the past to keep their expensive drugs selling. The argument in response is that between 2020 and 2023, the FDA in the US approved more than 50 new oncology drugs. If companies were holding back treatments, so many new drugs would not be coming to the market.
In such a situation, the advice is that the data of the Russian vaccine should be made public first and only then any conclusion can be reached about the Western companies. There is no concrete evidence that American and European companies are deliberately trying to stop cancer treatment.
