ROHCVfighter– Yes, I probably would invest elsewhere, too.
Who knows? Maybe Gilead’s greed will make them abandon HCV for more ‘lucrative’ drugs–maybe to treat cancer– and they can overprice them to the point where generics can come into the picture and again cure many.
While I staunchly believe in intellectual property rights and patents, I myself circumvented the system to obtain ‘Chinese knock-off’ generic drugs to save my own life. So something needs to be done in the area of patents for ‘life saving medicines’ for sure. While Gilead deserves protection and compensation for their drug, something else also needs to be done for fairness of all. NO ONE should die because they can’t access food or medicine.This debate could go on and on as everyone will have a different idea of what is just and appropriate. And I’m sure it will be different from Gilead’s.
Also, the battle may have been won against HCV but not the war. I agree. However, one could also view the battle as HCV and complete health of all maladies the war. No one knows unless you were in the boardroom. This is the era of specialization, and usually it’s better to concentrate on what you do best and sub the other parts out.
That’s my story, and I’m sticking to it!
Doesn’t matter that they are not innovators. Or run by people with a passion. We’re talking about business. And they have made a lot of money off of their decisions so far.
I love you Gaj.And yes, it is despicable that they have made money THE WAY THEY HAVE. But the shareholders are happy.
Good for you!! I hope to join you someday soon.
