Very interesting discussion! If I may add another layer? We’re all expecting big pharma to jump all over these buyers clubs and generic fanchises however maybe it’s like free advertising for them? In reality we’re only a very small dot on the HCV treatment spectrum. The other interesting layer is that if hep c is cured then there will be a lot of forums, authorities, agencies and groups that will no longer be provided with government funding to continue their work? Is or will there be resistance from our so called supporter agencies?
It’s similar to the whole cancer landscape, if a scientist (sitting in the back blocks of the world somewhere) found a cure for all cancers, would we feel confident that the cure would make it to market? Or is it reasonably to suspect our little scientist would be bought out by big pharma/FDA? Given his or her own hospital wing and research facility to work with rats for another 10 years. I’m in the mindset of the latter. Em
