Holy shit, I can’t believe that actually worked! J&J maybe does have a shred of decency?

I HAVE RETURNED TO MAIN because I am FURIOUS that @JNJGlobalHealth is preventing millions from accessing life-saving treatment with bedaquiline, thereby costing innumerable lives and increasing the global risk of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis. youtube.com/watch?v=tMhgw5SW…

@JNJGlobalHealth, it's time to live up to your first credo: "We believe our first responsibility is to the patients, doctors and nurses, to mothers and fathers and all others who use our products and services."
#PatientsNotPatents
TAG joins TB survivors, advocates, researchers, clinicians, and civil society organizations to demand @JNJNews publicly commit to non-enforcement and withdrawal of all secondary patents on bedaquiline.

How about..... not being needlessly terrible and ending the bedaquiline patent? @JNJNews @JNJGlobalHealth

Why do you think you have the right to deny access to life saving TB treatment @JNJGlobalHealth @JNJNews? The development of bedaquiline was publicly funded. You made money. Now stop restricting access to bedaquiline, we are #PatientsNotPatents.
ALT Screenshot of Wikipedia blurb for bedaquiline. The screenshot reads: "The public sector invested US$455–747 million in developing bedaquiline. This is thought to be 1.6× to 5.1× what the owner, Janssen Biotech, invested (estimated at US$90–240 million). If capitalized and risk-adjusted, these costs become US$647–1,201 million and US$292–772 million, respectively."
I hate the holidays. “Oh, I’m making a turkey and my famous sweet potatoes!” “I’m going over to my mom’s: She’s gonna cook this year.” Yeah, well, my mom is dead.

Elon Musk could have ended world hunger and poverty, and he decided to fuck up Twitter for $44 billion instead.

If we’re going to keep letting people take their dogs everywhere, someone should start IsThereADog, a database of businesses where there’s usually a dog present. #allergies

I hate so much all that cost of living advice that is basically “give up anything that might bring you a modicum of joy during these rancid times so that you can afford to simply exist as a husk otherwise you are not worthy of support because you’re not doing the most you can”

It's like how even if a lot of high school sucked, here you are on the last night, and you just want to feel like the best times felt.
Which reminds me that the Awesome Coffee Club is the Official Sponsor of Twitter's Denouement. awesomecoffeeclub.com
Remember when Elon Musk thought about throwing his money toward ending world hunger, and then he thought, “nah, fuck it”?
