Good article … I left a comment responding to David Piper:

David Pieper • 3 hours ago

This is a non-story as the drugs are now available to every Australian for the cost of a regular prescription. There are no hepatitis C patients that are angered, but there are over 13,000 of them who are delighted to have commenced treatment since March with drugs have been made available on the PBS

GT2: Really? 13,000 out of 230,000 HCV sufferers in Australia … 5% may be “delighted” … however, 95% are angry … now that’s an ongoing story …

Went back to check if there was as response to it.

Yep … it was deleted … say no more.

P.S.

Always remember … whoever pays the piper calls the tune …

22/02/16: (pre-tmt) ALT 61, VL 2.48 IU/ml Hepascore 0.32 (F1/2), fatigue, brain fog, bloating (Treatment Na√Øve)
10/04/16: (Start tmt) Sofovir +DaclaHep (SOF + DCV) by Hetero Labs in India

Great article – thanks for posting Hieupham.

Well done all
I’m under a nom de plume on that Pieper thread in my reply due to Australia’s stupid prejudices and all.
Anyway,
I wanted to know more about this man who is clearly not about treating all asap from his glib comment. He has a strong profile for the PBS.

Also, Thankyou Hieu amazing reply to the other discreditor suggesting we are guinea pigs!

Ty also international friends
