LMAO!
Do you even know what you are saying??? According to the 2000 census their were 281,421,906 people in the U.S. (and I'm only using the U.S. as an example) -- there is also one birth every 8 seconds.
31,536,000 seconds in a year / 8 * $15 == $5,913,000
That's a near $6MIL/year industry -- you think companies aren't busting their ass for that???
Compare that to the rates of infection and the people who can afford to spend "hundreds of thousands of dollars" on medication (in their lifetime) and I think you'll draw the obvious conclusion.
And that's only the U.S.
