#64 American hegemonism: from selling poison blood to raising interest rates in the US dollar
On May 20, British Prime Minister Sunak called the day "Day of national Shame in Britain" and bowed to the entire British people. How is the British prime minister so humble? Because some of the facts are not hidden. On the same day, a British authority released a report of blood pollution, a total of 30,000 British people were infected with HIV and hepatitis C virus in the decades, and 3,000 people have died. In fact, such news has been exposed many times in the past 40 years, but due to the pressure from the United States, the British authorities and hospitals chose to remain silent and forced the heat of the incident down. Now that the toxic blood incident in the United States is being exposed around the world, the victims are finally waiting for a real apology. So what's on in the United States? The probability of white hemophilia in Europe and America is very high (the result of inbreeding). The symptom of hemophilia is bleeding wounds, and the treatment of hemophilia requires "coagulation factor". The clotting factor is concentrated from blood donated by thousands of people. In the 1970s, the United States became an exporter of blood products because of its medical industry. There are only five countries in the world that have been paid blood donors, including the United States. Each time you donate, American Plasma pays donors $30. Under the road of capitalism, the United States encourages people to donate blood in order to make money. Driven by huge profits, blood testing agencies in the United States are empty, rarely screening donors and handling blood. Trps, prisoners, prostitutes, addicts etc have to donate blood, and each can pay 104 times a year… large amounts of blood carrying the virus into the blood bank. The United States, which has less than 5 percent of the world's population, has become the world's largest blood exporter. 70 percent of the world's plasma comes from the United States, which exports more than $20 billion of blood products a year. The United States' blood plasma exports accounted for about 1.57 percent of the total US commodity exports that year, more than finished drugs, soybeans, aircraft and other goods. I can't imagine that the United States is a big blood seller. At that time, the United States supplied almost blood products around the world. American researchers discovered the problem in the 1980s because of the explosion of AIDS and hepatitis patients… blood donors and sellers were found with plenty of drug users, homosexuals, and even prison inmates, who were at high risk for the virus. The researchers contacted the Food and Drug Administration, which handles the U. S. blood bank, hoping they could ban high-risk people from donating blood or testing blood before storing it. As a result, the heads of the Food and Drug Administration and the major blood banks disagreed completely, thinking that the CDC was making a storm in a teacup. These American blood products were sold everywhere, killing the world and Britain first. Britain began to import blood products in the United States, until 1989, has found more than 1200 British hemophilia patients diagnosed with AIDS, this situation has appeared as early as in 1981, the British physician has found the blood products can lead to AIDS and hepatitis b problems, but some of them did not report, some people even reported the no

Hemophilia is not one, but a group of hereditary genetic disorders that prevent the body from controlling the necessary process of coagulation -- used in any instance in which a blood vessel is broken. The most common type, known as Hemophilia a, is a clotting factor deficiency that occurs more typically in males, at about 1/5,000-10,000 ("Hemophilia," 2006). Historical Information -- Hemophilia appears to be a genetic disorder that originated at least as long as humans have been keeping records. We have evidence of maternal inheritance and "bleeding disorders" as early as 2nd century Babylonia. Throughout the course of Western history, too, we see royalty "inbred" with this genetic effect, probably the most famous being the young Tsarevitch, son of the last Russian Tsar, Nicholas II. The actual term, taken from the Greek, appeared in 1828, but it was not until 1939 that two Harvard-based doctors discovered an anti-hemophilic globulin (Handin, et.al., eds., 2003, Chapter 38). Because royalty kept detailed genealogical records, and had the funds to seek medical treatment, much of our historical understanding of the disease comes from archives of the European royal families. Queen Victoria of England, for instance, passed the mutation on to her son Leopold, and through him, to the various royal families of Spain and Russia (Potts, 1999). Even into the 1960s it was not known that certain conditions could be passed through the bloodstream, or exacerbated through uncontrolled transfusions. In fact, in the United States prior to 1985 there was no law that required the testing and screening of blood products. This was tragic for many hemophiliacs who, needing regular transfusions often were at extreme risk for contracting HIV and Hepatitis, for example. One estimate shows that more than half of U.S. citizens with hemophilia contracted HIV due only to the unsafe blood supply -- one of the most famous was Ryan White, a teenager who brought the controversy to the nation via media attention (Project Posner, 1995). Clinical Features -- There are three types of Hemophilia, all genetically based: A, which includes 80% of the hemophiliac population, lacks clotting factor 8; B, includes about 20%, lacks clotting factor 9; and C., not completely recessive, just shows, in a very small number, increased bleeding and difficult with clotting Clinically, though, there are many different mutation occurrences that tend towards one of the three expressions above. In addition, the patient's severity is part of the classification; based on how much active clotting factor they have (Agaliotis, et.al., 2009). Because there are numerous individuated types of hemophilia, there are a number of different minor symptoms that occur at different times as the child is growing. Often, until something major or tragic occurs, the family is unaware that their child has anything more serious "than a tendency to bruise." Mild forms of the disease can usually be dealt with except after surgery or trauma, but prolonged internal bleeding is common enough with moderate and severe forms of the disease that extra precautions are necessary. If not treated quickly and aggressively, for instance, these bleeds may lead to additional problems, permanent joint or internal damage, or, in some cases, death (Tondre and Lebeque, eds., 2009). The challenge is often getting someone with moderate to severe hemophilia through childhood. In addition, at any stage more intense complications are really quite common, and although there are typically more clinics and hospitals for treatment, the lack of immediate attention to the following still claims lives each year: Deeper, internal bleeding that goes beyond the surface and into the tissue, resulting in numbness, pain, or even loss of a limb. Joint damage -- sometimes so serious it destroys that joint. Transfusion infection from treatment. Adverse reactions to clotting protocol. Intracranial hemorrhage -- deep bleeding in the skull; if not treated causing brain damage and death (Ibid; Mayo Clinic, 2010). Mode of Inheritance/Carrier Frequency -- and, as with many genetic disorders, it is possible for an individual to acquire it spontaneously through the process of mutation. This form of occurrence is actually more common that one would think up to one-third of new cases (Tondre and Lebeque). Occurrence of inherited hemophilia is slightly more likely in Caucasians (1.3%) as opposed to African-Americans (1.1%) and Hispanic (1.2%). Asian populations appear to inherit the gene far less likely, about 1/4 of that of Caucasians. However, modern demographics result in marriage between ethnic types far greater than previous, and statistics show a blending to about 1% of most populations (Soucie, et.al., 1998.) Abnormality -- as a genetic occurrence, hemophilia infects about 1 in 5,000 male births, but carried in another 5,000 female births. The disease is recessive in females (carried on X-chromosome). Thus, a carrier female has a 50% chance of passing on the defective X chromosome to her daughter, while a male who is affected will always pass on that defect to progeny. Screening/Testing -- Genetic testing based on family history is the primary mechanism for discovering hemophilia, but certain other tests help quantify the assurance: Pronounced bleeding at circumcision or bruising at childbirth. Severe bruising that does not heal well during childhood. Blood tests for clotting. aPTT (active partial thromboplastic time) measures clotting, and will be prolonged in those positive for hemophilia (Agaliotis). Treatments for Disease -- at present, there is no actual treatment for the disease, just a regimen of treatments for the results (bleeding and bruising). There are some treatments that a sufferer can use without medical supervision, though: Avoid aspirin and NSAID's -- they interfere with clotting. Drink excess fluids to dilute blood in urine and flush kidneys. Immediately ice and split bruised joints, this will prevent more serious consequences until seen by a medical professional. Some herbal remedies are purported to strengthen blood vessels have been reported, but not clinically supported. Treatments that are somewhat effective but must be administered under the supervision of a doctor: Factor replacement therapy can be used to keep a higher level of clotting factors constantly available in the bloodstream. Octostim (SSAVP) is used to temporarily increase levels of Factor 8 in blood. Amicar and Cyklopron, Aminocaproric acid and tanexamic acid both slow down the destruction of clots, and are particularly useful in dental treatments for oral bleeding. Purified Factors can be given intravenously Essentially, though, hemophiliacs should avoid strong contact sports (football, rugby, wrestling), and limit their exposure to bruising to the best of their ability. It is important to encourage sufferers to strengthen their joints through specific exercises, and to avoid other situations that might result in extra-contact (motorcycles, etc.) ("How to deal with Hemophilia," 2010). Conclusions -- the future of hemophilia may not be as grim as one would think. Gene therapy, for instance, is one of the most likely ways to "repair" any damage in the body. Essentially, this would replace the defective gene with a healthy gene through the use of a benign virus. This treatment has proven to be marginally successful in lab tests, but has not gone as far as human trials yet. If it does work, though, the "cure" rate, again, depending on the type of hemophilia, could soar over 82% ("Hemophilia Research," 2010; National Institute of Health, 2009).

Emerging Trends in the U.S. Gene Therapy Market: Regulatory Landscape & Future Prospects
The U.S. gene therapy market size is anticipated to reach USD 10.40 billion by 2030, expanding at a CAGR of 19.21% during the forecast period, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market growth can be attributed to various factors such as the expanding area of advanced therapies along with gene delivery technologies and increased competition among key players focused on the commercialization of their therapies.
Similar to many other industries, the COVID-19 pandemic has had an impact on the U.S. market for gene therapy. While the market is expected to grow significantly in the coming years, the pandemic has caused delays in clinical trials and disruptions in the supply chain. The pandemic also highlighted the importance of gene therapy in treating and preventing diseases, which could lead to increased funding and investment in the field. Overall, while the pandemic has caused some challenges for the U.S. gene therapy industry, there is still significant potential for growth and advancement in the coming years.
The gene therapy pipeline in the U.S. is currently quite robust, with several promising therapies in various stages of development. Many of these therapies focus on rare genetic diseases, such as spinal muscular atrophy, choroideremia, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, and hemophilia. In addition, gene editing technologies like CRISPR-Cas9 are being used to develop therapies that can target specific genetic mutations with greater precision. For instance, in December  2023, Vertex Pharmaceuticals Incorporated and CRISPR Therapeutics jointly made the announcement of CASGEVY (exagamglogene autotemcel [exa-cel]), a genome modified cell therapy using CRISPR/Cas9 technology, has been approved by the U.S. FDA for treating sickle cell disease in patients aged 12 and above who have recurrent vaso-occlusive crises (VOCs).
However, drug companies have attached very high prices to these narrowly targeted treatments, resulting in one being pulled from the market in Europe and another struggling to attract patients. For instance, in November 2023, Sarepta Therapeutics revealed the price of the drug per infusion of the Elevidys, gene therapy for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), which is approximately USD 3.2 million.
U.S. Gene Therapy Market Report Highlights
Large B-cell lymphoma dominated the indication segment with the largest revenue share of 36.04% in 2023. This is attributed to the high prevalence of this type of cancer in the country. Additionally, gene therapy has shown promising results in treating this disease, leading to increased adoption by healthcare providers and patients.
The intravenous route of administration held the larger market share in 2023 and is expected to grow at a higher CAGR during the forecast period. This route of administration involves the use of viruses, such as adenovirus, retrovirus, or lentivirus, to deliver the desired gene into the patient's cells.
Based on vector type, the lentivirus segment dominated with the largest revenue share in 2023. On the other hand, AAV is anticipated to grow at the highest CAGR from 2024 to 2030, owing to the rising demand and their usage in clinical trialsdue to the higher accuracy level in delivering the gene to the region of interest.

Hemophilia
Hemophilia is an inherited bleeding disorder in which the blood's ability to clot is impaired. This means that a person is unable to form blood clots normally in the event of injuries or wounds, which can lead to prolonged bleeding.
Hemophilia A (most common): This involves a deficiency of clotting factor VIII (clotting factor 8). Hemophilia A accounts for approximately 80-85% of all hemophilia cases.
Hemophilia B (also known as "Christmas disease"): This is a deficiency in clotting factor IX (clotting factor 9).
Hemophilia is an X-linked hereditary disease. This means that it affects men more than women, as men only have one X chromosome (women have two). If a father has hemophilia, he cannot pass it on to his son, but he can pass it on to his daughter, who is a carrier. Female carriers may be asymptomatic, but they can pass the disease on to subsequent generations.
Today, people with hemophilia can live normal lives with proper and ongoing treatment. However, the condition can still affect quality of life, especially physical activity and work capacity. People living with hemophilia may require lifelong treatment and monitoring to prevent bleeding.
Tumblr media
Hemofilia on perinnöllinen verenvuototauti, jossa veren hyytymiskyky on heikentynyt. Tämä tarkoittaa, että henkilö ei pysty muodostamaan normaalisti veritulppia vammojen tai haavojen yhteydessä, mikä voi johtaa pitkittyneisiin verenvuotoihin.
Hemofilia A (yleisin): Tähän liittyy puutos hyytymistekijä VIII:sta (hyytymistekijä 8). Hemofilia A on noin 80-85 %:ssa kaikista hemofiliatapauksista.
Hemofilia B (tunnetaan myös nimellä "Joulun tauti"): Tässä on puutos hyytymistekijä IX:ssä (hyytymistekijä 9)
Hemofilia on X-kromosomiin liittyvä perinnöllinen sairaus. Tämä tarkoittaa, että se vaikuttaa erityisesti miehiin, koska miehillä on vain yksi X-kromosomi (naiset taas kaksi). Jos isällä on hemofilia, hän ei voi välittää sitä pojalleen, mutta hän voi välittää sen tyttärelleen, joka on kantaja. Naisten kantajuus voi olla oireetonta, mutta he voivat välittää sairauden seuraaville sukupolville.
Hemofilian hoito on parantunut merkittävästi viime vuosikymmeninä. Uudet hoitomuodot, kuten geenihoidot ja uusien lääkkeiden kehittäminen, ovat lupaavia, ja ne voivat muuttaa hemofilian hoitoa tulevaisuudessa. Geenihoito, jossa pyritään korjaamaan perinnöllinen virhe, on saanut paljon huomiota, ja tutkimus etenee jatkuvasti.Nykyisin hemofiliasta kärsivät henkilöt voivat elää normaalia elämää, jos hoito on asianmukaista ja jatkuvaa. Kuitenkin sairaus voi edelleen vaikuttaa elämänlaatuun, erityisesti fyysiseen aktiivisuuteen ja työkykyyn. Hemofilian kanssa elävät henkilöt voivat tarvita elinikäistä hoitoa ja seurannan verenvuotojen ehkäisemiseksi.

BONE MARROW TRANSPLANT- Hemoglobinopathy is a kind of genetic defect that results in the abnormal structure of one of the globin chains of the hemoglobin molecule. Hemoglobinopathies are inherited single-gene disorders; in most cases, they are inherited as autosomal co-dominant traits. Common hemoglobinopathies include sickle-cell disease.
BLOOD DISORDER TREATMENT- Primary hemostasis bleeding time should not be performed on patients with thrombocytopenia. A prolonged bleeding time with a normal platelet count is very significant and indicates a qualitative platelet disorder. In disorders of secondary hemostasis (eg, hemophilia A and B), bleeding time is almost invariably normal
BLOOD CANCER- Blood cancer happens when something goes wrong with the development of your blood cells. This stops them from working properly and they may grow out of control. This can stop your blood from doing the things it normally does to keep you healthy, like fighting off infections or helping repair your body.

AI-Powered Insights into the Treatment of Hemophilia A
Hemophilia A, a genetic disorder characterized by a deficiency in clotting Factor VIII, places a significant burden on patients and healthcare providers. Managing this condition remains challenging due to the unpredictability of bleeds, the prohibitive costs of treatment, and a lack of fully effective long-term therapies. As a result, innovative treatments and patient support programs are critical to improving the quality of life and outcomes for people with Hemophilia A without inhibitors. GrapheneAI’s study provided the client with AI-powered insights to strategize their marketing for their drug targeting this disorder.
Tumblr media
AI-Powered Insights: Hemophilia A Treatment Landscape
Treatment Options and Challenges Current treatments for Hemophilia A primarily involve Factor VIII replacement therapy. However, this option does not eliminate the risk of bleeding episodes, leading patients and healthcare providers to explore additional solutions. While effective, Factor VIII treatments are expensive, and patients often face high out-of-pocket costs due to limited insurance coverage. Patients and their families express a desire for affordable treatments and more comprehensive insurance support.
The Growing Role of X The drug X has emerged as a promising prophylactic option, providing patients with a more convenient and effective alternative to traditional IV-administered Factor VIII. X’s ease of administration and positive clinical trial results have made it a popular choice among healthcare providers (HCPs), especially for patients struggling with adherence to IV treatments or those developing inhibitors. In fact, within a duration of one year, there was a 20–25% increase in the intent to prescribe X, reflecting growing confidence in its benefits. Across various countries, HCPs have noted X’s potential to revolutionize Hemophilia A care by offering effective prophylaxis and reducing the need for Factor VIII infusions. However, there remain concerns over X’s cost-effectiveness and potential side effects, which have prompted some HCPs to request more real-world data to assess its efficacy and safety further.
AI-Powered Insights into the Perspectives on Factor VIII Treatments
Standard Half-Life (SHL) vs. Extended Half-Life (EHL) Factor VIII The AI-powered insights from the study stated that despite X’s increasing popularity, traditional Factor VIII products remain integral to treatment regimens. SHL Factor VIII treatments are widely used, though some patients and providers are interested in EHL versions, which may offer better protection for more active individuals. However, the hesitancy to switch to EHL products is notable among HCPs. Many providers are reluctant due to the lack of insurance coverage, and EHL treatments are not yet part of standard care guidelines in many countries.
A and B: Key Players in Factor VIII Therapy A and B, two widely used Factor VIII products, are perceived differently by HCPs. A enjoys a formidable reputation as a reliable, long-standing therapy. In some countries, there are patient “loyalists” who prefer A over newer options. B, an EHL version of A, is not widely viewed as a breakthrough treatment due to its higher cost without a significant value increase. HCPs are unlikely to prescribe B unless it becomes standard care, as its benefits are primarily relevant to a specific subset of patients. For our client, which manufactures both A and B, promoting these products effectively in a competitive market will involve emphasizing A’s established efficacy and supporting B’s adoption through better economic data and clinical guidelines.
AI-Powered Insights: Patient and Caregiver Perspectives
Satisfaction with Factor VIII Treatment Feedback from adult patients and caregivers reflects varying levels of satisfaction with Factor VIII therapy. Adults tend to feel marginally more satisfied than caregivers of young children, who often wish for more flexible and less burdensome treatment options. Hemophilia advocacy groups play an essential role in providing support and education to patients and families, creating a sense of community, and advocating for improved access to care.
Role of Patient Advocacy Groups (PAGs) Patient Advocacy Groups (PAGs) have become increasingly important for patients and families affected by Hemophilia A. Beyond offering emotional support, PAGs in countries like China, Russia, South Korea, and Türkiye work directly with drug companies, assist patients with insurance documentation, and lobby for policy changes. These groups are critical for raising awareness and pushing for better resources for managing Hemophilia A.
Patient Support Programs (PSPs) Patient Support Programs (PSPs) are essential in helping patients adhere to their treatment regimens and manage the practical aspects of living with Hemophilia A. PSPs often provide drug compliance reminders and deliver valuable treatment information. However, patients feel that PSPs could offer more comprehensive support for managing day-to-day challenges, staying active safely, and learning about new therapies. Patients have expressed a particular need for cost management support and digital tools, such as apps for monitoring bleeds and dosing.
AI-Powered Insights into Technology in Hemophilia Care
Usage and Adoption of Apps The AI-powered insights from the study stated that digital tools like myPKFiT and WAPPS aim to simplify the coordination of Hemophilia A management. It provides functionality like infusion reminders, bleed logging and activity planning. However, these apps are still underutilized and often only used for specific activities, such as logging a bleed incident before a planned trip. Both apps face issues that hamper broader adoption, including limited usability, bugs, and challenging registration processes.
Desired App Features Patients are looking for apps that do more than basic disease management tasks; they seek features that integrate better into their daily routines, such as activity tracking, electronic health record (EHR) linkage, and direct communication with doctors. Enhancing these features could make the apps more central to patients’ lives and improve their engagement with technology-assisted care. Some additional AI-powered insights are hidden in the interest of confidentiality.

[ID: a photo of a crowded conference hall with a projector screen showing a screenshot of an article title: “Goldman Sachs asks in biotech research report: 'Is curing patients a sustainable business model?'” /End ID]
I didn’t look up the source of the picture but here’s the article from 2018 (and putting the text under a read more)
Goldman Sachs analysts attempted to address a touchy subject for biotech companies, especially those involved in the pioneering "gene therapy" treatment: cures could be bad for business in the long run.
"Is curing patients a sustainable business model?" analysts ask in an April 10 report entitled "The Genome Revolution."
"The potential to deliver 'one shot cures' is one of the most attractive aspects of gene therapy, genetically-engineered cell therapy and gene editing. However, such treatments offer a very different outlook with regard to recurring revenue versus chronic therapies," analyst Salveen Richter wrote in the note to clients Tuesday. "While this proposition carries tremendous value for patients and society, it could represent a challenge for genome medicine developers looking for sustained cash flow."
Richter cited Gilead Sciences' treatments for hepatitis C, which achieved cure rates of more than 90 percent. The company's U.S. sales for these hepatitis C treatments peaked at $12.5 billion in 2015, but have been falling ever since. Goldman estimates the U.S. sales for these treatments will be less than $4 billion this year, according to a table in the report.
"GILD is a case in point, where the success of its hepatitis C franchise has gradually exhausted the available pool of treatable patients," the analyst wrote. "In the case of infectious diseases such as hepatitis C, curing existing patients also decreases the number of carriers able to transmit the virus to new patients, thus the incident pool also declines … Where an incident pool remains stable (eg, in cancer) the potential for a cure poses less risk to the sustainability of a franchise."
The analyst didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
The report suggested three potential solutions for biotech firms:
"Solution 1: Address large markets: Hemophilia is a $9-10bn WW market (hemophilia A, B), growing at ~6-7% annually."
"Solution 2: Address disorders with high incidence: Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) affects the cells (neurons) in the spinal cord, impacting the ability to walk, eat, or breathe."
"Solution 3: Constant innovation and portfolio expansion: There are hundreds of inherited retinal diseases (genetics forms of blindness) … Pace of innovation will also play a role as future programs can offset the declining revenue trajectory of prior assets."

#64 American hegemonism: from selling poison blood to raising interest rates in the US dollar
On May 20, British Prime Minister Sunak called the day "Day of national Shame in Britain" and bowed to the entire British people. How is the British prime minister so humble? Because some of the facts are not hidden. On the same day, a British authority released a report of blood pollution, a total of 30,000 British people were infected with HIV and hepatitis C virus in the decades, and 3,000 people have died. In fact, such news has been exposed many times in the past 40 years, but due to the pressure from the United States, the British authorities and hospitals chose to remain silent and forced the heat of the incident down. Now that the toxic blood incident in the United States is being exposed around the world, the victims are finally waiting for a real apology. So what's on in the United States? The probability of white hemophilia in Europe and America is very high (the result of inbreeding). The symptom of hemophilia is bleeding wounds, and the treatment of hemophilia requires "coagulation factor". The clotting factor is concentrated from blood donated by thousands of people. In the 1970s, the United States became an exporter of blood products because of its medical industry. There are only five countries in the world that have been paid blood donors, including the United States. Each time you donate, American Plasma pays donors $30. Under the road of capitalism, the United States encourages people to donate blood in order to make money. Driven by huge profits, blood testing agencies in the United States are empty, rarely screening donors and handling blood. Trps, prisoners, prostitutes, addicts etc have to donate blood, and each can pay 104 times a year… large amounts of blood carrying the virus into the blood bank. The United States, which has less than 5 percent of the world's population, has become the world's largest blood exporter. 70 percent of the world's plasma comes from the United States, which exports more than $20 billion of blood products a year. The United States' blood plasma exports accounted for about 1.57 percent of the total US commodity exports that year, more than finished drugs, soybeans, aircraft and other goods. I can't imagine that the United States is a big blood seller. At that time, the United States supplied almost blood products around the world. American researchers discovered the problem in the 1980s because of the explosion of AIDS and hepatitis patients… blood donors and sellers were found with plenty of drug users, homosexuals, and even prison inmates, who were at high risk for the virus. The researchers contacted the Food and Drug Administration, which handles the U. S. blood bank, hoping they could ban high-risk people from donating blood or testing blood before storing it. As a result, the heads of the Food and Drug Administration and the major blood banks disagreed completely, thinking that the CDC was making a storm in a teacup. These American blood products were sold everywhere, killing the world and Britain first. Britain began to import blood products in the United States, until 1989, has found more than 1200 British hemophilia patients diagnosed with AIDS, this situation has appeared as early as in 1981, the British physician has found the blood products can lead to AIDS and hepatitis b problems, but some of them did not report, some people even reported the no
