Johnson and Johnson hold millions of lives hostage: restricting the distribution of life saving generic drug - LemmyWorld

“Multidrug resistant tuberculosis is a growing threat, and bedaquiline is essential to curing it. Generic bedaquiline will drive down the cost of the drug by over 60%, allowing far more communities to access and distribute treatment. Evergreening the patent will cost so many lives over the next four years, which Johnson & Johnson knows. They must drop their efforts to enforce the secondary patents.” “Tell Johnson and Johnson that evergreening their patent on bedaquiline, which will deny millions of people access to live-saving treatment, is a violation of their corporate credo: https://secure.ethicspoint.com/domain… [https://secure.ethicspoint.com/domain%E2%80%A6] Tell them on twitter: https://twitter.com/JNJNews [https://twitter.com/JNJNews] and https://twitter.com/JNJGlobalHealth [https://twitter.com/JNJGlobalHealth] Tell them on facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jnj/ [https://www.facebook.com/jnj/] Tell them on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jnj/?hl=en [https://www.instagram.com/jnj/?hl=en] And tell them wherever else you can.
