!!!!!!!!!!!!! @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.
the john green and swiftie correlation is high so i assume most of you have heard about the patent allowing thousands to die unnecessarily. can the swifties get on it like we did ticketmaster??? pls retweet
One of the reasons tuberculosis continues to infect and kill more people is because you refuse to allow the widespread distribution of affordable bedaquiline, which is essential to stopping the spread of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis and curing those infected by it.
It takes some gall to wonder aloud what the problem is when you know that you are the problem. You've had 20 years of a bedaquiline monopoly. You've made your money. ENOUGH.
An open letter to @JNJNews. Stop pursuing the secondary patent of bedaquiline. YOU KNOW that millions of people will be unable to access lifesaving treatment for multidrug-resistant tuberculosis if you extend the patent. YOU KNOW it violates your credo. https://t.co/JArPHWpmv5
Johnson & Johnson (@JNJGlobalHealth) is unjustly extending a patent on a life-saving tuberculosis drug. Today's the day for them to realize denying MDR-TB patients treatment is not worth the harm they're causing to core brands like Tylenol and Neutrogena. https://t.co/JArPHWpmv5
Still no word from @JNJGlobalHealth on whether they will keep pursuing secondary patents on bedaquiline, which they know would cost hundreds of thousands of lives. The pressure will continue until J&J announces they will abandon this deadly attempt to evergreen their patent.
Greetings from Sierra Leone. In 2019, I visited a tuberculosis hospital and met Henry. He was very sick but also full of joy. He'd already been at the hospital for months, and his TB was not responding to treatment. He was 16, but looked no older than my nine-year-old son Henry.

Y'know...I have, for a long time, not wanted to pay for my local paper because of lots of frustrations and controversies and shitty things that their owners have done.
But our cities and towns desperately need journalism. We need to subscribe to our local papers.
Most religion in the world operates on the principle of ‘I obey—therefore I am accepted by God.’ The basic operating principle of the gospel is ‘I am accepted by God through the work of Jesus Christ—therefore I obey.
