. Danaher Corporation makes 8 billion dollars in annual profits. Much of that profit comes from price-gouging the world's poorest countries for life-saving tuberculosis tests. Danaher has done this in the dark for 13 long years. Today, we shine the light. #PeopleOverProfits

Hey Danaher Corporation: You're already in the news. Great story about Danaher's price gouging and nerdfighteria's refusal to accept it. #PeopleOverProfits goodgoodgood.co/articles/john-…

A simple summary of an insane situation. Danaher is withholding their amazing technology from the people who most need it. Enough. It's #Timefor5 #PeopleOverProfit

Morning, Danaher Corporation. I notice you haven't responded to calls to stop price-gouging poor countries for TB tests. Just like you didn't respond to open letters from Doctors without Borders. Perhaps you are hoping the storm will blow over. Well, you're trending. #PeopleOverProfits

Morning, Danaher Corporation. Still no public comment from you on the thousands of requests you've received to lower the price of GeneXpert tests, thus allowing TB patients to be treated appropriately. I really hope today is the day you publicly announce lower prices. Thanks in advance!

So grateful for this conversation with my heroes. You can watch now, and reach out to Danaher Corporation and Cepheid to let them know that nobody should ever go through what Phumeza was forced to go through. youtube.com/watch?v=x4WtAB…

Wow Danaher Corporation way to be a professional business that takes feedback and responses thoughtfully and not at all like a tantrum-throwing child. /sarcasm #PeopleOverProfit #Timefor5

We’re currently limited on the number of tests we can perform simply due to budget." -Partners In Health, on the direct relationship between cost and clinical outcomes. Please, Danaher Corporation.

Good morning to everyone except the executives of Danaher Corporation and Cepheid who think charging a 200%-500% profit margin on life-saving TB tests is an acceptable business model #PeopleOverProfits #TimeFor5

Happy Monday to everyone except the executives of Danaher Corporation and Cepheid who enabled 1.6million deaths from TB last year by overcharging for their TB tests that they developed with TAXPAYER MONEY #PeopleOverProfits #TimeFor5

HUGE NEWS and what it means: This morning, USAID, Stop TB Partnership, and The Global Fund jointly announced that Danaher will lower the price of their standard TB test cartridge by 20% to $7.97. This isn't the 50% reduction we hoped for BUT... Danaher Corporation is also committing to ZERO profit in

Thank you. Congratulations. I know this was not easy, but it's a very important step on the long and challenging road to a world where no one dies of tuberculosis.

Today Danaher Corporation agreed to lower the price on its tuberculosis tests 20% after a pressure campaign from a number of health nonprofits like Stop TB Partnership, The Global Fund and Partners In Health as well as popular YouTuber and novelist 🐢🐢🐢John Green🐢🐢🐢. Here's why that's a big deal: forbes.com/sites/willskip…

Excited to be included in this #NetZero campaign! I highly encourage everyone to take a look if you need some good news, #sustainability inspiration, and #climatechange actions you can take.

If I had a nickel for every time nerdfighteria has pressured a large corporation into reducing prices for critical tools to address the tuberculosis crisis, I'd have two nickels--which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

When clients ask which online sharing system I recommend, I say Sync.com. It is paramount that tax information remain secure and private, but still able to share without fear of it being compromised. I also love that data is stored in Canada!
