    Two points – having an accent or American heritage does not exclude you from being British.
    – Even if she were an American, there is such a thing called freedom of labour movement.

    For you, it is unacceptable that an American or a person of that heritage can work in Britain? That it follows that the world is therefore corrupt?

    Thank you for so definitively demonstrating what reflexive bigotry looks like. Well done.

    Hello A L
    I am struggling to understand how you can think that comment shows bigotry.
    I just listened to the woman at the end of this clip and she is being very careful to be neutral. The talk about value vs price is quite frankly insulting to anyone with HepC and to anyone capable of thinking critically.
    Her comments about the price the British Govt is paying for the DAAs and the deal they have negotiated mean nothing at all, firstly because she is not committing to them and just generalising, and secondly because they are probably not true. I know the Australian Govt paid just under $AUD70,000 for my treatment, and if the Govt thinks they got a good deal they weren’t trying very hard.
    Another thing… Anyone who talks about Gilead developing Harvoni is either misinformed or lying. Gilead did not develop it. They had a choice of 3 products to buy and I guess they won Lotto when they picked Harvoni. They have made their money back many times over.
    And as for an American being a spokesperson, for an American to be Executive Director of the Association of British Pharmaceutical Industry (a public service) and then to publicly plug big pharma…. if you call that bigotry you are welcome to your opinion but so am I and my opinion is that you are misinformed or missing the point.

    Great video. Reinforces that in many countries (including USA, Great Britain and many others) if you are willing to spend your own money, treatment is available for under $2000 USD.

    Great video except for the puppet at the end

    Thanks Ariel, GT2, Tina and Pat1 for the good wishes.
    EOT……wowie zowie, that’s gone fast. :woohoo: :cheer:

    Some reflections, and I hope I’m not just preaching to the choir.
    If anyone is reading this and wondering if they should get treated, I say to you, just do it. Do it while you can. The door to generic treatment is open but big pharma is influential and greedy.

    The door won’t stay open forever.

    Through luck and lots of front I got onto the branded meds (Gilead Harvoni) but truly was all set to go down the fixhepc / GP2U road.
    It’s safe. Dr James has the generic meds tested before they are sent to you. You won’t lose your money. There is evidence that the outcomes from generic and branded treatments are the same.

    For me the changes have been dramatic. Not only do I have more energy, I have more focus, drive and mental sharpness. I have less fear. My body runs more efficiently. Sleep quality is fantastic. I noticed these things very soon into the treatment.

    I had no idea if things would be different, no idea what to expect. The quality of life for the rest of my life will be so much better.

    A bit about my individual situation. Since being diagnosed I did as much as I could to stay as healthy as I could – eat right, do Yoga, stay fit, do weights, eat organic (as much as the budget allowed) take supplements for my cell health, also antioxidants. Fibroscan consistently F0, LFTs abnormal but not hugely so but VL reasonably high.Never touched interferon, riba etc

    I know that lots of people were sicker than me, but they are getting SVR12.

    Just do it folks, you have nothing to lose except a nasty disease.

    Peace out

    If anyone is thinking of trying a VPN my son has found a free one called ghostvpn. The limitation with the free version is that you get kicked off after 3 hours but then you can log back in.

    IT WORKS!!!!!
    But the product is called Cyberghost, not ghostvpn
    Very easy to install.
