US rejiggers bioshield bill

Article Abstract:

The biodefense industry in US does not attract the drug development industry or its investors since it undertakes a lot of risk and the gains are very low, hence only when this situation improves, the United States would be able to have a proper bioshield. The investors and the executives who initially were interested in the biodefense have moved their attention to their actual business, as there the market sets the prices and not the government.
