...Lol, you can't just take a drug to market instantly in the U.S.
There are all sorts of FDA benchmarks you would have to pass. Even if you fast tracked it/did some backalley bribery, you're still looking at years.
In the film the protagonist keeps his miracle cure a secret is what I am talking about. His father has a 100% reversal from advanced Alhzheimers upon taking it and is kept at 100% mental capacity for like four years. That's four years of having a major medical breakthrough just kept under your hat. He only said anything once it stopped working.
