There is now an internal progressive ms alliance UNCONNECTED to big pharma



After you get past the fact that progressive ms has been ignored forever, you may conclude this is a really good thing. Big pharma justifies the amazing price of drugs by leaning on the fact they do the heavy lifting re trials etc and has no desire to cure ms because it will impact profit



This collaboration might move things along more quickly: there is funding for both research and infrastructure to enhance collaboration
