No, I didn't. I sent you a pm suggesting that you target the problem rather than patients who sing the praises of insurance companies and greedy pharmacuetical companies.
Gaj - respectfully, the particular 'patient' who was deliberately posting misinformation in response to my posts was flat out lying about the availability and affordability of branded medications. Those carefully crafted untruths needed to be exposed and corrected, and I did so, telling some of my own story along the way. The article on the news outlet upon which I was posting comments and rebuttal will be read by tens of thousands, if not hundred of thousands of Americans.
The individual who attempted to rebut my posts was lying through her teeth to dying Americans, and to each and every one of the thousands people who are reading those comments every day.
The way the author wove that web of lies and half-truths was really something to behold, unless one recognized it for what it really was - artfully crafted disinformation and propaganda. When the author Identified herself at the end of her first post as a shareholder who directly benefits from, and
liked the predatory pricing scheme, her motive was crystal clear, and the gloves came off.
FixHepC.com is about outreach, and information, and healing, and providing a path to lifesaving treatment, hope and support to people (like me) who otherwise have run out of good options.
This is a resource unique in the entire world, and I will not drag the battle in here again. However,
out there I will continue to stand toe to toe with, and confront deliberate dishonesty and subterfuge, where it is being artfully deployed to keep people ignorant and at deaths door.
You are an exceptionally good human being Gaj. And, your innate compassion, sense of good sportsmanship, and fair play makes you an exceptional moderator and counselor, which is much appreciated.
I am a bit of a street fighter, and will strive to leave that at the curb when I come here.
