#Danaher owns #Cepheid, which makes the best serum tests for #TB, #HIV, and other dire communicable diseases.
The #cartridges to run the tests cost Danaher $5 to make. They charge $15 for them.
After a long public pressure campaign, Danaher agreed to lower the price of its test cartridges for TB from $15 to $5.
But the test cartidges for the other diseases still cost $15.
Please sign the petition here to help convince Danaher to lower the price:
Call to action: John Green on how to force corporations to change.
"they cannot make decisions that would harm the shareholders even when that would benefit the entirety of humanity...talking to other shareholders about how they're profiting off of price-gouging the wolrd's poorest people and those who serve them....The only way to get them to do the right thing is reputational harm"
Go listen, then sign the petition
Glad to see the public pressure campaign by #MSFAccessCampaign #TreatmentActionGroup #JohnGreen et al push #Danaher #Cepheid to provide their #tuberculosis tests at cost to communities most in need.
For background - a public plead by John Green:

Did you know #Danaher, the company that price gouges life saving #tuberculosis tests, also owns #Pantone, the company that price gouges color references? At least nobody dies from not having access to standardized colors. Anyway, here are some proposals for this years #ColorOfTheYear. Make your own at https://tbfighter.link/coty-template/
A follow up video about the #Tuberculosis tests that #Danaher #Cepheid are making obscene profits from.
Nota bene: Hank is a lot nicer than he could be.
