Elevidys, a gene therapy priced at $3.2 million per dose.

That sentence alone is enough to discount anything positive about any drug.

If they can price their "therapy" at $3.2 million per dose and get away with it, why don't they just price it at $3.2 billion per dose and solve their insolvency problem?

Very impressive work. This sheds light on how and why the US spends many billions of dollars on treatments of marginal or no efficacy.

That isn't the point. Developing drugs is tremendously expensive

So "they" set up Loomer to help oust Prasad? And then at some point due to her part in this she gets banished from having any influence on Trump. They kill two birds with one stone . . .

Not to mention that the company themselves won’t allow compassionate access to DMD patients.

I agree. Something is definitely wrong with Loomer’s submarining of Prasad.

She's getting paid off. Follow the money. Might be hard since it's probably well hidden

No amount of public pressure helped ivermectin during COVID. Doesn’t matter if it worked or not because PHARMA and other powerful interest were behind the rejection. “Science” isn’t working very well for public health.

If there is ever a grassroots movement, I'm in. This was a very well articulated description of both what happened to Vinny and the history of drug lobbying and profits over finding real cures and help.

Loomer has always given off a very sketchy vibe. I don’t trust her.

As a supporter of this administration, I was so pissed about VP’s forced resignation. Laura Loomer definitely needs to be investigated. and if Trump is as smart as I think (hoping) he is, he would do well to stay far far away from her and everyone involved in this. Too bad, I normally support my Senator, Ron Johnson. Just so frustrating to see smart people get caught up in political pressure and desperate pt’s pleas used by Parma to push their sh*t drugs. Sooo glad to hear Prasad is back!
