This is a long statement that could have read: We will live up to our mission statement and end our secondary patent on bedaquilline, saving thousands of lives @JNJNews @JNJGlobalHealth

[Johnson & Johnson @JNJNews]

It is false to suggest—as some recently have—that our patents are being used to prevent access to SIRTURO® (bedaquiline), our medicine for MDR-TB.

In fact, we have already entered into a collaboration with the Stop TB Partnership’s Global Drug Facility (“GDF”)—the largest procurer of TB medicines—which enables them to invite potential generic suppliers and purchase generic versions of SIRTURO® 100mg. On April 5, during a World Health Organization meeting, the GDF shared its intent to launch a tender for generic versions of SIRTURO® 100mg in the third quarter of 2023: https://t.co/6m49h5g7tn

In addition, we have shipped more than 660,000 courses of SIRTURO® to 159 countries since launch. Our patents made this possible, enabling us to assist countries to scale-up their use of our medicine responsibly and sustainably and invest in multiple, critical, anti-TB efforts. For instance, in the face of rising drug resistance, we support stewardship efforts that ensure MDR-TB patients can benefit from our medicine today and in the future.

Unfortunately, the most significant barrier to treatment access for patients today is the fact that millions of patients with TB go undiagnosed every year. This is a challenge that we have invested significant resources to overcome and must all get behind if we are to achieve the global goal of ending TB.

Wayne Pivac inherited a side ranked second in the world.

Wales have fallen off a cliff under his watch.

This year, we’ve lost to Italy and Georgia. At home.

That has become our level under him.

We’re sleepwalking into crashing out of the RWC in the pool stage.

He must go.

With Twitter's change in ownership last week, I'm probably in the clear to talk about the most unethical thing I was asked to build while working at Twitter.

Here is my MP @DarrenG_Henry completely failing to do what is right and call for a resignation.

You should be writing a long overdue letter to the 1922 committee, not tweeting ridiculous platitudes. An apology is not good enough after months of these denials.

[Darren Henry @DarrenG_Henry]

It is right that those who break rules are punished. Due to the Prime Minister’s and the Chancellor’s public facing roles I expect a public apology.

As I previously stated, I am not going to make my final statement until the full Sue Gray Report is released.
