https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/gilead-will-charge-more-3000-course-remdesivirCitarAll those stories about patients being billed for tens of thousands of dollars for coronavirus-related care elicited promises from the White House that "everything will be covered". Still, as thousands of Americans complain about charges related to COVID-19 testing and care being passed on by their insurance companies, Gilead, the pharmaceutical company that has pushed remdesivir down the world's throat despite the fact that the cheap steroid dexamethasone has proven - in at least one high quality study - more effective at lowering mortality rates, has just published its expected pricetag for a five-dose course of the drug.On Monday, Gilead disclosed its pricing plan for Gilead as it prepares to begin charging for the drug at the beginning of next month (several international governments have already placed orders). Given the high demand, thanks in part due to the breathless media coverage despite the drug's still-questionable study data, Gilead apparently feels justified in charging $3,120 for a patient getting the shorter, more common, treatment course, and $5,720 for the longer course for more seriously ill patients. These are the prices for patients with commercial insurance in the US, according to Gilead's official pricing plan.As per usual, the price charged to those on government plans will be lower, and hospitals will also receive a slight discount. Additionally, the US is the only developed country where Gilead will charge two prices, according to Gilead CEO Daniel O’Day. In much of Europe and Canada, governments negotiate drug prices directly with drugmakers (in the US, laws dictate that drug makers must "discount" their drugs for medicare and medicaid plans).But according to O'Day, the drug is priced "far below the value it brings" to the health-care system.However, we'd argue that this actually isn't true. Remdesivir was developed by Gilead to treat Ebola, but the drug was never approved by the FDA for this use, which caused Gilead to shelve the drug until COVID-19 presented another opportunity. Even before the first study had finished, the company was already pushing propaganda about the promising nature of the drug. Meanwhile, the CDC, WHO and other organizations were raising doubts about the effectiveness of steroid medications.Months later, the only study on the steroid dexomethasone, a cheap steroid that costs less than $50 for a 100-dose regimen, has shown that dexomethasone is the only drug so far that has proven effective at lowering COVID-19 related mortality. Remdesivir, despite the fact that it has been tested in several high quality trials, has not.So, why is the American government in partnership with Gilead still pushing this questionable, and staggeringly expensive, medication on the public?

Un documento muy científico, utilizando raw data del gobierno Chino.Ok.MINISTERIO de Sanidad.Y las mascarillas fashion 100% algodón del Zara protegen contra el virus asesino ultracontagioso de la parka....¿Cuando ha dejado España de ser aliado de occidente?

Había ido a la parte de la estacionalidad directamente, que era uno de los aspectos que explican, bajo mi punto de vista, el descanso de casos en el hemisferio norte, el tipo de curva, etc, y las especificidades de otras latitudes. No había mirado nada más, la verdad. No seré yo quien te discuta lo de las mascarillas, desde luego. ...No lo sé. Desde Trump? O desde nuestro nuevo gobierno?

No había mirado nada más, la verdad. No seré yo quien te discuta lo de las mascarillas, desde luego. ...No lo sé. Desde Trump? O desde nuestro nuevo gobierno?Perdoname Lurker no lo decía por tu mensaje, lo decía por lo extraño de que un país europeo utilice datos de sanidad una opaca tiranía comunista, en un asunto del que se sabe ha mentido anteriormente. Recordemos que en el pseudo-continente Chino apenas hay oficialmente 4.000 fallecidos y los infectados CAÍAN FULMINADOS MIENTRAS PASEABAN POR LA CALLE, como pudimos ver en los telediarios nacionales e internacionales, gracias a imágenes ofrecidas por la propia dictadura al principio de la pandemia.Si, ya se que las cosas se olvidan, como las supuestas gravísimas fibrosis pulmonares que afectaban a los niños de 10 años, pero para eso estamos aqui, para encontrar la verdad, como la encontramos con "las primaveras árabes y su búsqueda de la democracia" que resultó ser un alzamiento de ISIS y Al-Qaeda mientras los mass-media sabiéndolo callaban (y callan) como las putas que son.Estaría dispuesto a asumir las medidas restrictivas que nuestro surfero director del centro nacional de alertas sanitarias quisiera imponer, pero no en base a documentos científicos falsos.Y creo que el problema al que nos enfrentamos es ese.
The pressure on Chinese academics to publish in “western” journals is immense and it is therefore not surprising that fraud and improper publication protocols are common. A 2013 essay in Science brought to light some of the publication practices used in China, including commercial concerns that guarantee a publication in a high-impact journal for a fee.
Diversity of work force. In the last two decades many groups and/or individuals have been designated with “preferential status”. This in spite of the fact that the percentage of women and minorities in academia and pharmaceutical indutry has greatly increased. It follows that, in a social equilibrium, preferrential treatment of one group leads to disadvantages for another. New ideologies have appeared and influenced hiring practices, promotion, funding, and recognition of certain groups. Each candidate should have an equal opportunity to secure a position, regardless of personal identification/categorization. The rise and emphasis on hiring practices that suggest or even mandate equality in terms of absolute numbers of people in specific subgroups is counter-productive if it results in discrimination against the most meritorious candidates. Such practice affects the format of interviews and has led to the emergence of mandatory “training workshops” on gender equity, inclusion, diversity, and discrimination [Note 2].
Hay cosas que se me escapan.-Porque es tan importante el COVID 19 y en cambio nadie se preocupa de los 500.000 muertes por Gripe el año pasado? Cuantos niños mueren de sarampión en el mundo?-Hablan de mascarilla, pero nadie habla de los problemas de salud que acarrea la reutilización continuada. -Se han planteado soluciones absurdas y carísimas, pero nadie que mande parece entender que viviremos años con este virus y deberíamos aprender a convivir.-Hablan de mascarillas, pero no hablan de como lavarse bien las manos y de evitar tocarse la cara. Cuando posiblemente sean más efectivas que las mascarillas.-Quieren aplicar la misma normativa en Madrid que en Villaconejos.-Tiene sentido llevar mascarilla por la calle? O quizás el contagio se provoque más en espacios cerrados?Y aquí paro, porque me parece todo demasiado politizado, porque las propuestas son inviables económicamente y porque falta sentido común.
