The world is a bit more complex than you think.
The compassionate use program was not cheered by everyone. There are people who think drugs should not basically be paid for unless they have been shown to be efficacious and that such programs COULD become a means of corrupting the drug approval process. The laws passed under Obama/Biden, including the 21st Century Cures Act, but there were people in Congress sabotaging it along the way, thinking they were "doing good". The difference is also that the UK program is also flawed and so is the German one. The program that the UK is using, the UK Specials program is not their baseline "Compassionate Use" program but effectively a run around of that rule.
Same problem, in different countries, because there is a group of ethicists and others who really don't like the compassionate use programs and don't think drug companies should profit in any way from selling before approval. The problem is that it is not economical for small, and apparently large companies, to make small batches for some compassionate use patients for really complex drugs at no cost to the patients or at only the cost of the inputs. You still have to have a certified factory, still have to have employees and you'd need to keep them on payroll to make that material, whether you have orders or not. It's not economical.
As for Biden and the Cancer Moonshot, that is a program aimed at things like SHARED DATA, which will benefit situations like DCVax in the long-run, if you can run trials without a placebo and use historical data. It's long-term and focused on large issues. It's not a corruption program for picking winners and losers that kiss the President's butt. I know we saw that in the last administration and it really messed up a lot of really good options we had then for therapeutics, for instance. But that's NOT the way to run a clean program and has little to do with Beau.
President's don't and should not run programs to benefit their families. Is that such an ODD concept? And no, people should not write to anyone encouraging them to embrace the corruption and make us rich.
