J&J should have taken action years ago, they could have prevented so much suffering and death. This is a great article on the issue from back in 2020, explaining how J&J could still profit even if they only charged 25 cents per pill. Instead they charged several tens of thousands of dollars for a course of the medication, leaving 80% of people in the world who need treatment unable to access what might save their lives. It's unconscionable.
Thanks for speaking out and sharing. I'll do what little I can on my end and boycott this company until they do better. At this point I trust the no name brand over J&J anyways so it's an easy option.
