Ive had a thought how we can spread awareness without being subject to outright BS from the likes of people and associated organisations who stand to loose a shitload of money from the manufacture and distribution of generic’s.

How about the idea of a Fix hep C bumper sticker –

for example –

I just noted a moment ago that there were 9 members, and 1327 guests on the site

Welcome!

Sometimes I get upset because doctors, teachers, politicians think way tooooo much before deciding to take action in cases where there is news about revolutionary things, like generic HCV medication.

I wonder sometimes what are the students from the medicine universities thinking, when they become aware about such solutions and despite that they see their teachers or master doctors adopting a passive or critical position?

How would the students react if they would see this information on their forums and not on the official university newspaper?

Fabulous idea Tina with lots of thankyous means people agree with your idea which I can support (I am sure lots of people can also support but just offering anyway)

I’m able to have stickers produced excellent quality waterproof high gloss and it’s what I do (I have a range of surf decals and car stickers I own) my producer is local to me and extremely reasonable.
If this is a go I am willing to assist.

The word “exponential” comes to mind when I see the sharp upturn at the and of the graph. I don’t think there is any stopping it now. The word is getting out. Thank you Dr. Freeman and Greg Jefferys for making it all happen. Thank you for coexisting peacefully, because it took both of you to make a believer out of a very skeptical me. – Jeff’s simple blog to make me say “Hey this guy really did this and he got well”, and to Dr. Freeman for educating and providing a way that we could have actually obtained the meds. (Happily, in our case, the Harvoni appeal was finally approved, but I’ll have to say a very tiny part of me wishes Joe was taking the generic just so I could be more believable when I spread the word, as I know he would have gotten well either way) Many others are going to jump in to try to get a piece of the pie now that you two have blazed a path….some will have motives very different than yours – there is lots of money to be made here, even at generic prices – but no matter what their motives are, at least more people will get well. Sadly, you will probably never get the worldwide recognition you deserve. — MsJoe ***edited to add – I just saw fritz mentioned the exponential upturn in the graph on another thread – stated much more eloquently than here…..It would be awesome if the word would spread as fast as the virus replicates!***

Awesome, Price!

ETA: Figured out the private chat function. It’s so simple its embarrassing!

New plan with comments sections on stories I come across. Instead of just stories that focus on hepc , hit the big popular ones on any health or corporate greed topic. Left one today on a John Oliver story, tenuous connection but has attracted more likes quicker than any other. As the saying goes, everyone knows someone and the bigger the audience the more likely it is someone will see it.
