image ID: the destiel breaking news meme, but after cas says "i love you", dean replies:

cas, danaher corporation and it’s subsidiary company cepheid are still charging tuberculosis (TB) patients in low- and middle-income countries $10–$20 to access quick and accurate testing despite the fact that cepheid’s genexpert machine tests were developed with at least $252 million in taxpayer money and doctors without borders found out that the tests only cost $3–$4.50 to produce. TB is a major cause of death and disability, not to mention that the inaccessibility of these tests leads to the spread of drug resistant TB around the globe.

Barely Contained Rage: An Open Letter to Danaher and Cepheid

[sizzlingsandwichperfection-blog]

You've probably never heard of the corporation Danaher.

That's how they like it. It allows them to Reverse Robin Hood their way to profits gleaned from the world's poorest people.

But that ends today. We're shining a light on Danaher's business practices. And we're gonna keep shining that light--and make Danaher and their Very Private Executives famous--until they stop price-gouging the world's poorest countries for lifesaving TB diagnostics.

From TBFighters.org

Danaher - a large U.S. corporation - owns many smaller biotech companies, including Cepheid. Cepheid designs and manufactures diagnostic tests. Their TB GeneXpert test determines whether someone has tuberculosis and if the infection is drug resistant or not, enabling effective treatment.

Using the "printer ink" business model, Danaher sells the testing machines at a reasonable price, but WAAAY overcharges for the test cartridges themselves, especially the cartridges that show whether the type of TB someone has is likely to be drug-resistant, meaning that even when people can get a diagnosis, they may end up wasting valuable time on treatments that are less likely to be effective because they couldn't access the more advanced diagnostic cartridge, which, by the way, costs the SAME AMOUNT OF MONEY TO MANUFACTURER AS THE BASIC DIAGNOSTIC CARTRIDGE. Danaher is PURPOSELY price-gouging and it's costing thousands of lives a year.

But there's something we can do about it.

Contact Danaher and let them know to put #PeopleOverProfits and start selling their diagnostic cartridges for $5. It's #TimeFor5.

By all means, go after big tech. Regulate advertising. Create data privacy laws. Hold tech accountable for its failure to be interoperable. But for the love of the next generation, don’t pretend that it’s going to help vulnerable youth. And when the problem is sociotechnical in nature, don’t expect corporations to be able to solve it.

something you can help with

heyyy ik we're having fun with the VMAs but um

a lot of people are going to die because Danaher Corp is preventing a life-saving tuberculosis tester from reaching impoverished communities, which have the highest risk of a) contracting and b) dying from tuberculosis in the first place. but there is something YOU (yes you) can do about it! unlike many problems, this actually can be solved over social media. it's worked before and you can be a part of it working this time. when john green (@sizzlingsandwichperfection-blog) and the nerdfighters swarmed J&Js social media when they were trying to do something similar, they ended up backing down and letting impoverished communities have access to bedaquiline, a life-saving tuberculosis drug. this is exactly what we need to do this time.

so what can you do? well first watch this video so you can get a more in-depth look at what i'm talking about. it's under 9 minutes and very informative without being too difficult to understand.

second, go ham on social media. even if you can only do one post, that is plenty. twitter, instagram, and linkedin are all great places to start

danaher corp's socials: instagram twitter linkedin

use the hashtag #peopleoverprofits

you can also call their number tomorrow, between the hours of 8:30 AM - 5:00 PM (i believe). flooding them with calls is actually extremely helpful (202)-828-0850

i know that with how much tragedy we see every day on our dashes, we can become desensitized to this kind of corporate greed and the pain that it causes. we have to, because compassion fatigue is real and difficult. but PLEASE take a minute or two to call the number tomorrow, or use social media to spread the word. you can make a help make a real and tangible positive change over social media

and pls reblog this so it reaches as many people as possible

[vizivoir]

anyway, so this is unacceptable

ough oops whats this im dropping it's Danaher's corporate phone line and also their email ahha I'm so clumsy

This is Tuberculosis Underscore, and THIS

is Tuberculosis a bacteria that will infect 10 million people this year and kill 1.5million, the WHO recommends that a rapid test be administered by anyone presenting with symptoms and signs of TB one of these tests is the GeneXpert test from Danaher/Cepheid a test which is being sold for more then twice its manufacturing cost, and at least three times cost for Ebola, Covid19, HIV and Hepatitis tests.

It is #timefor5

[nerdfighternichole]

Danaher Corporation and Cepheid don't seem to be getting our message from the phone calls, emails, letters, and social posts, and we'd really hate for them to miss the chance to help save millions of lives! Help them out and fax a reminder: It's #TimeFor5!

[delileaf]

so i fr work in a research building and everytime someone looks me in the eye and tells me they’re working on tuberculosis i gotta try real hard not to fall to my knees and start screaming

#yes it is surprisingly a very active area of research #it shocks me everytime #literally posters i walk past everyday abt tuberculosis and all i can think of is him…..

hi stranger!!! this post came up while i was searching abt TB and i didnt see that you were a red dead redemption(??? that cowboy game that i wish i could play where the main character gets TB) and i was at first very confused that you were like. kind of hostile to the idea of tuberculosis treatment? i saw a post with the name arthur and i was like ohh that makes so much more sense lol

but yeah tuberculosis is still a very big problem, just not one that gets acknowledged much in wealthy or majority white nations. due to several reasons (most notably corporate greed in the pharmaceutical industry), TB treatments are very inaccessible to a lot of people — this has changed very recently, but in some parts global south, just a diagnostic test could cost an entire week’s worth of wages

if you know who john green is, he actually started going in on tuberculosis activism like last year and leveraged his fanbase against johnson & johnson and a biotech company called cepheid in order to get them to reduce the pricing of their treatment & testing equipment in low- and middle-income countries! cepheid & their parent company danaher are still dragging their feet (only the first test for TB is reduced, but if someone tests positive they’re supposed to get a second test that will check what drugs will be effective against their strain. this is a major deal and is still unaffordable to a lot of people).

i’ll restrain myself from infodumping too much about my (very unsettling) special interest, but i have some recommendations in case you’re curious:

phantom plague by vidya krishnan is an incredible resource that is very approachable for someone not familiar with TB history and so full of interesting information. krishnan covers both history and the modern day, and goes into not only some germ science but also the social, political, and financial aspects. this is a massive recommendation to anyone, it’s just really really good

tbfighters . org is a website created by TB activists that’s a great jumping off point for anyone wanting to know what’s up with TB activism right now — includes basic details about TB in the modern day, some very easy calls to action (mostly focused on pressuring cepheid out of their price gouging, with some political information for the US and UK also!), and at the end a bunch of links to learn more!

(also i mentioned john green jumping into the fray earlier, so i have to talk about how he has a bunch of really great youtube videos and tiktoks about TB — history & also the modern day fight against it)

okay sorry this was a lot. please have a good day/night!!! :) <3

wow- this is super interesting !!!! I’ve actually just started my PhD in cell biology and I get so focused on the science I sometimes forget there’s a whole like political and economic landscape to biotech and pharmaceutical companies. doing research, it’s so easy to forget you’re not working in a vacuum!!

honestly as someone from the uk TB is just not on my radar and in my stupid science brain i was like - we can treat it? therefore we solved that problem? very privileged and sheltered of me I know, so I’m so glad you sent me that info!!

it’s crazy to me that i spend so much time getting sad over a fictional cowboy while real people are still going through very real situations with TB and suffering because they can’t afford tests or treatment - something i feel like more people and especially the rdr fandom should keep in mind when making jokes abt a ‘cowboy disease’

so thanks so much for all that!!!! (also …. you should definitely play the cowboy game, it’s amazing but will break you into a million pieces)

have a lovely day!!

[blueisasome]

As recently seen with mole interest, one viral Tumblr post can make a tag trend, and I'm hoping to bring that energy to the current Time for Five campaign. So first, an explanation of what exactly that is.

So if reading all that fills you with as much rage as it did for me you're hopefully asking yourself how you can help.

Currently bringing awareness to the issue is the main priority of the campaign, Danaher is not a well known company outside of the medical profession. We want them to be well known for all the wrong reasons, and pressure them into doing the right thing.

Here are some links with information about how you can help, and please reblog this post, and others in the #time for five and #people over profits tags, to spread the word!

Tuberculosis is the world’s deadliest disease

Tuberculosis is curable! In the US, it’s been virtually eradicated!

Unfortunately, low-income countries with high TB burdens rarely have the resources to implement the seek-treat-prevent model at scale

One reason for this is profiteering corporations like Danaher, which makes the best TB tests, charging absurdly high prices

It has been repeatedly demonstrated that these companies will lower their prices in response to negative attention from the public!

One way to show Danaher you are paying attention is to sign this Doctors Without Borders petition, asking them to lower prices of tests for MDR-TB, HIV, and more: https://timefor5.msfaccess.org/

Doctors Without Borders can show Danaher all the signatures on the petition to prove that people know about the price gouging, and Danaher is suffering reputational harm that outweighs the extra profits

Lives are saved!!

View Detailed Report Description: https://www.globalinsightservices.com/reports/in-vitro-diagnostics-ivd-quality-control-market/

Market Dynamics

As the burden of various diseases increases globally, so has the number of laboratory tests. The number of laboratories in both the public and private sectors has increased in response to this need. With the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in December 2019, the demand for diagnostic tests has skyrocketed. Many government organizations have established new laboratories in response to this epidemic and to increase laboratory testing capacity. The majority of nations need clinical laboratories to get regulatory body accreditation before performing diagnostic tests. Additionally, accreditation to ISO 15189:2012 and other comparable standards is turning into a requirement in many nations. Authorities assess a laboratory’s competency and quality system during the accreditation process using predetermined standards. While some European nations, including Belgium, France, Hungary, Ireland, and Lithuania, require accreditation for a variety of laboratory tests, others, like Finland, the Netherlands, Sweden, Switzerland, and the UK, have practically finished the process.

It costs a lot of money to set up a QC process in a clinical laboratory. Additionally, laboratories must keep a specialized staff on hand to oversee the QC system. Moreover, regardless of the number of tests conducted, QC procedures are expensive. As a result, QC methods are particularly expensive to adopt for clinical laboratories that perform few diagnostic tests. This is predicted to lead to a lesser adoption of QC procedures, along with budgetary restrictions in many hospitals and laboratories in developed and emerging nations.
