If the poorer countries could manufacture Tamiflu they'd flood the 1st world with it and then the original manufacturers would receive nothing because the market had been shafted by cheap imports....Steve Antony Williamshttp://www.ethicalcompanies.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4471993488623327927.post-19522174353687046902009-08-08T12:05:02.827+01:002009-08-08T12:05:02.827+01:00I agree with him that the taxpayer shouldn't b...I agree with him that the taxpayer shouldn't be funding such research, let's leave that to the drugs companies.<br /><br />The rest is twaddle of course. <br /><br />These drug companies make profits and pay a shed load of tax. The government collects the tax. If the government wants to use that money to buy drugs and send them to Africa, then good luck to them. it's not what I'd vote for but hey, that's democracy.<br /><br />Or, the government could keep its nose out and realise that drugs companies work on the basis of discriminatory pricing - they'd be quite happy to sell the stuff in Africa for cost-plus (i.e. a fraction of retail price in the West) provided they knew the Africans wouldn't then re-sell them for much higher prices in the West.<br /><br />Africans being Africans however, that is exactly what they do, so the drug companies just pull up the drawbridge and tell them to f*** off.Mark Wadsworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07733511175178098449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4471993488623327927.post-77082892770645069692009-08-07T23:45:07.257+01:002009-08-07T23:45:07.257+01:00Is the Indy still published?
