>Clinton Foundation schemed with Big Pharma to keep the price of AIDS drugs high in America

>We have always told the drug companies that we would not pressure them and create a slippery slope where prices they negotiate with us for poor countries would inevitably lead to similar prices in rich countries. If we were going to change our view on this, we should have informed the companies before President Clinton went public with his statement and attempted to negotiate a way for them to participate in and get credit for whatever steps we could have persuaded them to take to help the crisis in the states. We might or might not have been successful in getting them to do something, but we believe the chances of success would have been higher than by trying to pressure them through a public campaign. It has taken us many years to build positive relationships with these companies while at the same time pushing them to continually lower their prices. We will now have to try to repair these relationships.

>trying to shift the blame from one of /pol/'s little idols, Shekelri
The price was dirt cheap until a few months ago when that douchebag jacked up the price by several orders of magnitude, are you seriously trying to blame it on Bill of all people?
>>
>>7099915
Can someone explain this for someone who is retarded like me? Is the Clinton Foundation reassuring the company their prices won't be affected by whatever Bill said on World AIDs day? Is the price of AIDs meds expensive already? Are no generics available even today? I'm confused. This is vague to me.
>>
>>7099915
i have full blown AIDS and i know how I'll be voting now. thanx
>>
>>7100049
basically they reaffirm that the prices of aids treatments (lets call it that) will not be cheap in rich countries (ie US) because poor countries get their treatment cheaper.

So effectively, they will price gouge rich countries because they can.
>>
This will not be reported on any major new outlet.
>>
>>7100064
Rich countries subsidize drug R&D for everyone else.
>>
>>7100064
But couldn't it be charitable to lower prices in poor countries to make them available to people who wouldn't be able to afford the normal cost of developing the drug? If it was the same price in the US, maybe they wouldn't be able to afford to continue making the drug...? I know drug companies are for profit so I'm probably just being optimistic.

I'm being genuine, not trying to prove a point or anything.

The concern of activists demanding generics is alarming though.
>>
>>7100074
this
Gilead has literally said they intentionally charge higher costs in NA and EU to cover in public press conferences. There isn't any "conspiracies" here. This shit has been known since pharmaceutical companies began.
>>
>>7100098
Generics from other countries aren't allowed in because of border patrol, not Hillary Clinton.
It's the same reason why all the self-medders on this board always worry about customs seizing their drugs.

If you want more generics in the US it would involve an incredibly major overhaul of the FDA and borders and customs.
>>
>>7100098
There already WERE cheap AIDS drugs in America until earlier this year. The only reason the price skyrocketed is because some asshole decided to monopolize it and increase the price by a ridiculous amount. Meanwhile, /pol/ and the other edgy alt-right types think he's the greatest hero ever for screwing over gays.
>>
>>7100083
Yes it would be charitable, similarly though, it would be just as charitable to make it affordable to those who can't afford it even in rich countries, as we all aren't rich just by being [american for example].

So basically people get to now have a discussion on these drug companies and how they in general operate. Should they be allowed to charge more in rich countries flat out?

I think the Clinton portion is overrated, but a Clinton is trying to get elected so anything with her name on it will make news (same with Trump), even if realistically they didn't have as much of an impact as news makes it out to be.

>Bill gives speech and says he will get pharma companies to lower domestic AIDS medicine
>Clinton Health Access Initiative (note the Clinton Foundation isn't one single organization. There are quite a few) board who negotiates with pharma says "oh fuck we can't do that"
>Sends memo to Amitabh Desai
>We've negotiated with pharma to allow domestic prices to stay artificially high to offset the cost of giving it away to third world countries (Africa)
>CHAI warns pressuring pharma to also drop prices domestic will cause them to lose their influence over pharma
This part is interesting
>CHAI recommends a compromise, get pharma to donate to CHAI so that the CHAI can distribute AIDS medicine domestically.
>No need to lower prices so pharma can still gouge Americans
>Pharma also gets a big tax write-off
What makes it even better CHAI has a history of distributing shitty medicine that kills people. See this picture and look up CHAI-UNITAID Ranbaxy

Since she's obviously going to win regardless of what anyone does, should we start demanding AIDS reparations from the Clinton administration?

Reminder not to talk to the Pol spammer.

Sage and report him for posting the same thing in ten threads.

He's dodging a child porn ban and needs to be turned in.
>>
>>7100137
Americans aren't going to get cheap meds.... there's so many laws regarding patent protection, distribution rights, and pharmaceutical imports that you'd cause a host of other legal problems in many other industries as well if it were ever altered.
>>
>>7100252
You'd be more credible if you didn't start ten other threads about this same thing. Spam

Then you started drooling over children in another thread you started.

Not that it matters. You're already permanently banned for posting child porn.

Get better at dodging bans and good bye.

Shkreli only increased the price of the toxoplasmosis drug Daraprim, not HIV antiretrovirals
>>
>>7100833
This is correct, there are currently over 500 different HAART treatments that combine usually 2-3 various drugs
Shkreli only removed 1 out of over 500 treatments but he did do a great job showing how most of the world is completely oblivious to scientific knowledge.
>>
>>7099915
the entire system is corrupt to the core, politics take money and help corporations and its not just pharma
common people get fucked
>>
>>7100119
How I know you're retarded. You think daraprim's price hike was a big deal. You don't do any research. If you did you'd know daraprim was for the treatment of toxoplasmosis; it's just notable in AIDS patients because they are immunocompromised. And you'd know that Shkreli sells the drug dirt cheap if you can't afford it.

It always comes back to screwing the public, that's what these corrupt scumbags thrive on, and then they pat each other on the back and say they are doing "good".
>>
>>7099915
And Trump would not fix this problem at all. Nor has he ever implied as such.

Both of these candidates will just enforce the status quo. If you want things to change, you have to start a movement.

If it kills more niggers, what's the problem?
