Wow! Talk about biting the hand that feeds you!
Further, if Gilead tripled their investment in buying Pharmasset for $11 billion and making about $30 billion to date (with Pharmasset getting
hundreds of percent return on their investment), how much are the unlicensed manufacturers making on intellectual property that they have paid
nothing for?
Sure, they are selling it a little cheaper than the
licensed Asian manufacturers, but with a much smaller investment. Do you think they are doing it out of the goodness of their blessed hearts? As a social service?
I've criticised Gilead for their greed myself, but if you take a couple of seconds to think about it, their behaviour is absolutely unremarkable for this part of the business world. Everyone is out to make a buck and, if they think like you, spend it on hookers and private jets.
While you have your private hate festival, don't forget that Gilead is also the major actor in bringing this very useful drug to the market and doesn't deserve the one-sided vitriol it is getting. Please give the angry, ignorant man-of-righteousness routine a break, will you?
G4, F4, cirrhosis.
Thank you to Gilead, Michael Sofia, and the terrific folk at FixHepC for making this adventure possible.
