🎉Price it —& all ur other tests—at $5 or less in low-income countries. It re-uses the same technology used to sell millions of cartridges & make billions of $ for @DanaherCorp shareholders. But, these tests remain out of reach for billions of people. #Timefor5

[Nerdfighters Against Tuberculosis @NftwtAgainstTB]

Go rate @CepheidNews and @DanaherCorp on Google and let them know they're pricing is unacceptable! It's #TimeFor5, people are dying because Danaher values excessive profits over actual people. #PeopleOverProfit

Despite progress in global health, tuberculosis (TB) remains a persistent challenge, killing someone every 20 seconds.

We have been at the forefront, treating and preventing TB in vulnerable communities.

140K of you have signed our petition asking @DanaherCorp & @CepheidNews to drop the price of GeneXpert tests to $5 for diff reasons. One is lack of #transparency of production costs & its implications for affordability of lifesaving tests. What’s yours?

Do me a favor? Go on Google, rate Cepheid HQ & Danaher HQ 1 star, tell them abt how their co's r making billions of $ every qtr using tests w prices that r WAY overblown. That millions of ppl will die due to not being able to get life saving tests they make & that should change🙏🏻

[TBFighters @TBFighters]

For our 3️⃣rd and final theme, we’re taking a page out of @JohnGreen’s book by rating @DanaherCorp’s pricing strategies on a five star scale! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We’ll go first: 🧵 #TimeFor5

[Shalom 💜 @Shal0m_M]

.@DanaherCorp manufacture life-saving Xpert cartridges with the potential to save millions of lives by helping close testing gaps and increasing accuracy. From that alone I'd give them 5 stars! But.... ⬇️

[SingingWriting (Josie) @singingwriting]

@CepheidNews I think a good way to have more trust is to lower your prices! Then more people can use your life-saving tests! #TimeFor5

[Nerdfighters Against Tuberculosis @NftwtAgainstTB]

Psssst.... You can all do this, too!! Tell @DanaherCorp to make it #TimeFor5 via Google!! (I did one for @CepheidNews, too!!)

[JD 🐢 | #PeopleOverProfits @itme_jd]

My single review pulled Cepheid down .1 star (from 4.0 to 3.9). If you have an old FB account you're comfy dusting off, think about giving Danaher's pricing strategy a review over there? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ #TimeFor5

[Caroline Faulkner @C_linian_falcon]

@DanaherCorp this is not a good look for you. Just think how your reputation will change if you put #PeopleOverProfits . It seems like #Timefor5

[MSF Access @MSF_access]

1 in 5 Rohingya refugees in Cox’s Bazar, #Bangladesh, have ACTIVE #hepatitis C infections.

Hep C treatment is now more affordable, so why is it still costing us $8.65 MILLION to test & treat them? Hint: #TimeFor5 🧵

cc @pantone. Your company is owned by the same people (@danaher) who currently make billions each year overcharging the world's poorest people for critically important tests for HIV, tuberculosis, and other illnesses. It's long past time to lower prices in low-income countries.

[MSF Access @MSF_access]

Several countries have written @DanaherCorp & @CepheidNews, requesting price drops on #GeneXpert medical tests, so more people can get tested & treated for #XDRTB, #HIV, #hepatitis & other diseases. We support their demands to save more lives. #TimeFor5

[Meghan (she/her) @Acorn_woman]

I find @DanaherCorp's website odd because how can you improve patient outcomes when they cant afford your diagnostic testing? Also defining "quality" and "productivity" as prioritizing profits over lives is crazy. It's #TimeFor5 dollar testing, It's time to put #PeopleOverProfits

[John Green @sportswithjohn]

Please read this, @DanaherCorp, and see the real world consequences that accompany your refusal to lower prices for drug-resistant TB tests. The 1.3 million people who will die of TB this year, and the many more who'll be permanently disabled, are not statistics. They are people.

Tuberculosis (TB) is the world’s deadliest infectious disease, killing about 1.5 million people worldwide every year!

In the battle against TB, delamanid is an important drug.

Ok time for a thread.

Here’s the inside story about the most important drug you’ve never heard of, why it’s currently between 4.8 and 7 times too expensive, & why that could change this year.

But first, a little background (we promise it’s worth it) 🧵
