It was a very small village -- a weekly bazaar where people, just once in a week, they put in all the vats. So I said, "I'm going to spend a year over here."

Scott Gottlieb
American Public Servant
Biologics must be grown in living systems - fermented, for example, in large vats of bacteria cells. This makes them hard to replicate. For decades, biologics weren't subject to competition from copycat generic medicines, even once patents and exclusivities had lapsed on originals.
Quote examples
Paul Dano
American Actor
When my girlfriend's away, I cook a big vat of meaty pasta and sauce and eat that for about a week. Then I eat out the rest of the time. When she's home, we eat at home probably twice a week. I chop, she cooks.
