When we heard that 🐢🐢🐢John Green🐢🐢🐢 was rallying his fans around a fight over the cost of drugs, we were pumped. And we explain how the price of this TB-fighting drug overseas has a LOT to do with why drugs in the US cost so much. armandalegshow.com/episode/john-g…

As things stand, South Africa is acquiring bedaquiline at R5517 for a 6-month regimen, while other nations secure it at half that price! Johnson & Johnson ongoing profit-driven actions are at the expense of many lives! We need urgent action!

📣 We are uniting with activists around the globe to make TB testing faster, more accessible, and affordable for all. Help us amplify our collective voice by tweeting Cepheid & Danaher Corporation to urge them to reduce the price of all GeneXpert tests to just $5. Stop TB Partnership #EndTB

7️⃣days to go for Cepheid to do right. 🚨While it costs #Cepheid <$5 to make the lifesaving GeneXpert test, they charge 2-4 times that in many countries struggling with TB. THIS ISN'T RIGHT. #Cepheid, it’s #TimeFor5! msfaccess.org/time-for-5

TAG & MSF International analysis showed that Danaher Corporation & Cepheid developed their GeneXpert TB diagnostic test with the help of a whopping $250 million in public funding. Now their price-gouging prevents people w/ TB from benefitting from that investment. treatmentactiongroup.org/publication/re…

Some Money Talk... Because of how the P4A works, we raise money all throughout the year now, but don't send it out until after the livestream. That means that we can have as much as a million dollars in the bank for over six months. So we put that money in a CD so that it can

Much love to the poor admin Danaher Corporation and Cepheid. And the switchboard operators at both companies. I'm sorry your execs won't lower the prices of TB tests, thereby saving hundreds of thousands of lives. I wish I could tell you it will be better tomorrow. But it won't.

5️⃣ days to the UN #TB High-Level Mtg! We have just 5 days to make some noise to let Johnson & Johnson & Cepheid know they must do more to get revolutionary TB drug #bedaquiline & test #GeneXpert to people who need them. Join us in tweeting at #Cepheid ➡️bit.ly/48hwMUO

You have the power to save lives (& frayed nerves), execs at Danaher Corporation & Cepheid. Shareholders, you’ll still benefit from massive sales increases. Besides, it feels good to know you’re not killing people w/capital gains on lifesaving tools. #Timefor5 #PeopleOverProfits

Good morning, Danaher Corporation! Lovely day here in Indianapolis, and I hope it is for you as well. Today would be a great day to announce broader access to lifesaving TB tests through a price reduction for impoverished communities. It's #Timefor5 and time to put #PeopleOverProfits

You have 4️⃣ days to improve access to lifesaving #TB drug #bedaquiline by publicly committing not to enforce your secondary patents in any country with a high burden of TB, Johnson & Johnson. MSF’s Christophe Perrin explains why this is important ⬇️ msf-access.medium.com/the-long-and-w…

We talk a lot about the cost of diagnostics and treatment for illnesses like tuberculosis--but not enough about the cost of not having accessible diagnostics and treatment. In the United States, we built thousands of institutions to house TB patients in the early 20th

PANTONE LOVE the new color line, but the names are kind of scary... Must be #TimeFor5 please get your daddy company Danaher Corporation Cepheid to put #PeopleOverProfits to help #endTB 🙏🙏🙏

#TimeFor5 #PeopleOverProfits It'd be downright mythical to help #EndTB and make testing affordable to those in low income countries!! (Thanks to 🩷Taylor🩷 Check Out WorkingFamiliesParty and rachel 🐢🐢🐢 for help!! 💖

It's not all sticks, Danaher Corporation. There are also carrots! Adorable carrots!
