    This is the kind of scum, just like Peter Thiel, that must be stopped to continue to be able to fuck up the sick, for personal gain.

    Their actions are a much bigger “fuck you” in the face of patients, than what the Theranos lady did. Sure, she also put the lives of patients in danger, but she wasn’t even tried for that. She went to prison, because she scammed the rich.

    Drugmakers consciously make patients suffer more or just die in misery, in order to make their fortune.

      Yeah, we already have government research funding a lot of medicine. Hell, the MRNA vaccine was DARPA’S doing.

    Some actual Lex Luther level evil. I remember a scene in the old Justice League or Superman cartoon. Someone walks up to him and he hands off a tablet and says something like, here’s the cure for cancer now break it up in to 10 treatments and charge $1k per dose. Repugnant in a cartoon and worse in reality.

    Fuck Gilead. My doctor was just telling me about this at my last appointment. I’m on Descovy for PrEP and the out-of-pocket costs are crazy if I weren’t insured.

    The number of people I know who are doing much better on Descovy compared to Truvada should make them feel so ashamed, but I know they don’t. Every year I see them marching in SF Pride makes me sick.
