Thanks for posting that Sir- it has me excited because it is such a mainstream news outlet.
Stories like this are the most important thing. I spend some of every day writing to journalists and hoping to get them interested. I get lucky from time to time but they all need the same thing- a US patient to build a story around.
I have one of those at the moment- a very good journalist who will work on a long feature, wants a person’s story.
Anyone up for it? please email me healhazel@gmail.com

ps have you seen this, latest in the blog, JF telling truth in Paris this week? https://fixhepc.com/blog/item/86-crisis-what-crisis-practivism.html

Hello Everybody,

@Sir: thank you for sharing the article from NYT. It is a great thing when a publication of this size does something like this. At the same time it makes me a little bit sad that this does not happen at all in my country (former comunist country…..)

@Hazel: thank you for sharing the blog of Dr. F. I find it extraordinary good.

@GF: thank you for bringing up the topic about the stigma. It reminded me about couple of good readings related to stigma develop (at least it was like this in my case) a better understanding about what it is and gives some ideas about how one may contribute in his/her preffered way:

and

I hope this helps,

Great job Sir! I do remember that the people who started a few months before me used API’s from Mesochem.

In reading this article a few times I can’t help but feel it was an American disinformation hit job.

Fix HepC has grown in popularity and reach.

The article dances around the idea of importation via shipping, and focuses on someone Greg helped who travelled to India. This has been known for some time in USA that you could go to India and get meds. The real news is that 3 months can be imported via mail. The only mention was that this can be accomplished under “certain instances”. ick:' />

So the message was, “forget it, this is not for you unless you are ready to go to India”

A real expose. NY Times is just propaganda.

Hi Hazel,

I’m not saying that the exposure is a bad thing by any means. However, I just question why there was no mention that the Buyers Club (Fix Hep C) ships to most of the world with relative ease. It would have been appropriate to have included the website info after going so far as to mention the Buyers club and Dr. Freeman. I find that odd it was excluded from the article.

The expense of a trip to India is several times what a straight purchase and shipment of the meds would be. The expense and amount of time required to travel there will make this very difficult for many US patients. Fortunately, some of the comments made mention of being able to ship meds via Fix HepC, so if anyone was really interested they would have discovered that.
