Hi All,
Thanks to the work of everyone here the word about generics is spreading. Depending on which source you use there are 193, 195 or 197 countries in the world.
Google thinks there are more because according to Google Analytics we have now had visitors from 196 different countries and there are still 6 gaps in Western and Central Africa.
In Australia fully 25% of people with HCV have visited this site which, for such an isolated group, is pretty amazing when you think about it.
I was talking with rohcvfighter about it as he lamented how hard it is to move the established status quo and to my mind what we are doing is sowing the seeds of a generic revolution that will apply people power pricing pressure on Big Pharma. While government could do it at the stroke of a pen we all know that’s not going to happen any time soon. Every one of us has the power to sow a few seeds. The SVR results that continue to flow in water those seeds, and I hope, that with your help, we will all live to see something worthwhile grow as the months pass into years.
When MSF sponsored the HIV generic trial that was reported in the Lancet in 2004 there were only a relative handful of people taking generic HIV medications. Now, 12 years later 50% of the 35 million patients are taking effective treatment.

… where by “lamenting” it is to be understood “talking about the facts happening in the real life” and by no means “squeezing the brain of dr. Freeman or baby crying”
(or at least I hope I am not doing this 
illy:' /> ).
(@Dr. F. – I read properly your message and in a constructive way
– reading your post today made me very happy, thank you !)I continue to believe that Life and Health are by far more important than the Intellectual Property (which has of course a high level of importance, but not so high as being healthy and alive). A big issue at the moment is that many people cannot (yet) make a proper differentiation.
Remember this guy?
Even though he was not aware at that time about HCV, what he says applies perfectly to the context of truth related to HCV generics.cheers,

Great Job to you too Dr. Freeman!! If we didn’t have you at the helm this whole generic HepC drugs idea, wouldn’t have even come about. The only thing I can suggest is for this website to open a small store. That way you could sell fixhepC stickers and other items, maybe even T-Shirts. The sales would not be for cash flow at all. It would simply be a way to advertise. That way, I could buy some stickers and stick them throughout Sacramento b/c I know where many of the HepC patients hang out. ~Respectfully
I love it!
