But deadly habits die hard. The drug companies are still trying to get away
with whatever they can, even in the face of the raging epidemic. They're
currently experiencing side effects of extreme irritability over the World
Health Organization's historic decision in March to release a list of
manufacturers of safe AIDS drugs that, for the first time, included
companies producing generic versions of drugs that are still under patent. Even though 8,000 people die each day in developing countries because AIDS treatments are too expensive, the big drug companies just can't accept the idea that they will no longer be the only ones making the life and death decisions about access to these drugs. They even seem to be having trouble grasping the fact that the World Health Organization's first priority must be, well, world health.
The pharmaceutical industry is also finally feeling the squeeze on Capitol Hill where there is a newfound vigor for serious action on the global AIDS crisis. Last week, Sens. John Kerry and Bill Frist, the Senate's only physician, introduced a bill that would more than double U.S. spending to fight the disease. |
