15 June 2016 at 10:27 am #19094Good article … I left a comment responding to David Piper:

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 …

Hep C RNA NOT DETECTED”16 June 2016 at 5:00 am #19177Well 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!
