!!!!!!!!!!!!! @JNJNews, THANK YOU for choosing #PatientsNotPatents. Takes real guts to live up to your credo. Generic bedaquiline WILL BE AVAILABLE in almost every country with a high tuberculosis burden. I am so happy and grateful to the Stop TB Partnership, J&J, and especially the activists around the world who are standing up for TB patients. So much more work to do, but WHAT WONDERFUL NEWS TO WAKE UP TO.
In just 22 hours, 578,000 people have watched this video about Johnson & Johnson's pursuit of secondary patents for bedaquiline and how this will lead to millions being unable to receive curative treatment for tuberculosis. https://t.co/Zy86nQE7lD #PatientsNotPatents@JNJNews
So when @msf, @pih, and hundreds of TB researchers and caregivers signed a letter begging you to end secondary patents for bedaquiline.... they were lying?
THAT'S your response?
jk rowling spends the money she makes from harry potter on trying to eradicate transgender people from the face of the earth. if you give her your money, you are directly contributing to the attempted genocide of transgender people. either you care about that or you don't.
it always gets me when harry potter enjoyers are like "I can't just give it up, I know rowling's a bigot but the series means so much to me" as if the series has never meant anything to any of the trans people rowling and her ilk want dead
It's been a while.

Imagine if JK Rowling used her massive platform to raise awareness of climate change, government corruption, racism and animal cruelty - instead of attacking the rights of trans people to simply exist

Autistic adults have meltdowns too. Even those who have full-time jobs and appear to function like the average neurotypical. Meltdowns might be more hidden. They might not come out until the person is home or in a safe space, but they happen. And they’re exhausting.
