There is no need to apologise for your questions creating this debate. As Mike says, debate is healthy and these issues need to be discussed. And this site, unlike most, allows the discussions to occur in public so that everyone can see and understand what is at stake. (Although, at the end of the day the site owner gets to decide what the site’s policy is with regard to recommending sources, as does Greg for his sources.) Sometimes the debate will get heated because there are a lot of passionate people involved here but despite the differing views of how to achieve it we are all committed to helping people to treat their HCV with these new DAA medications, at an affordable price rather than the extortionate levels that big pharma has attempted to apply.
As in any passionate debate it may sometimes be advisable to step back and take a breath away from the heat of the moment but I think that as long as we can keep our focus on working through the issues and not resort to name calling and insults then we are all good!

I also understand your wish to help your fellow countrymen with lower priced medications but there is a need to ensure their safety and efficacy as well. Obviously the price/risk ratio is far easier to meet for those in higher income countries but I would hate to see a situation where people were suggesting that different risk factors be applied to residents of different countries depending on their income. I don’t believe that is what we should be aiming for in the future.

I think you will find that the meds from the companies listed in Pharmas market have all been tested the trouble is all the different marketers. There will probably be hundreds if not 1000’s of mobs popping up selling these medications and if they appear to be cheap they could be a bit suss.
I did hear of a story where a seller put forward some meds for testing then when the big order was placed it fell through. This wasn’t here but someone connected.
