Let's end the lack of cooperation between Gilead and Bistol Myers and get these two drugs on the maket to the people who need them. The only way we can do that is through our White House Petition. Pleas sign at www.hepc-cured.org we on have until 3/20/13 to get 100,000 signatures to have the white house intervene. Please have your friends, relative, neighbors sign and add it to their face book and twitter... we need to end this deadly disease now. 4 million in US have this disease, 170 million world wide, hepc killmore people today than AIDS, a 1000 people a day die waiting for a cure. Take action now---sign the petition. Thank you
"all they are asking for is some sort of consideration for using the 2 "best in class" drugs in combo."
As I remember, Willing was calling for this years ago and was equally dubious that it would ever happen. Her take on it seems prescient now.
As you say, there's many a slip twixt cup and lip. It's surprising really that anybody ever gets their ducks all lined up in a row. Good luck with yours. Mine have still to hatch apparently, never mind line up.

Do you have hepatitis C or just lobbying for petition?
Looks like we got ourselves another wise ***. Ho hum. Just when I was managing to forget the last one, somethinglady, wasn't it? Is there a factory somewhere churning these guys out?

Well I have to say I found Willy's explanation in the post you attacked as one of the better posts I have read about this. I noticed once again you use the term "we" and "us" and it has become quite clear who "we" are. To be brought here just to mislead and attack is not helping the cause. There is more knowledge about Hep C on this forum then both of you have combined...... Go play elsewhere as there are forums out there that you can get by with your nonsense.
In answer to your question; how do you suppose that Gilead is going to treat genotype 2 and 3 patients when (as you maintain) they will only provide co-formulated 7977/5885 compounds in a single pill?
Answer; they are treating, currently in fda trial approval to treat g-2 and 3 with 7997/sofosbuvir and riba. If you knew your subject you would know that. They will not co-formulate it (w/5885) to treat genotypes 2 and 3.
Good luck with the endeavor.

Rivll, Unless we get the cure here the rest of world doesn't stand a chance. Yes there maybe "other things in pipeline" but why should be continue to used as laboratory animals when we have found a cure. I have to say, that when people decide to pick on a word or two that may sound rash or out of sorts to them or not acceptable to them......that is not the point here!. We are dying from Hepatitis C, we are being given toxic drugs over and over again with horrible side effects, , people are dying every day waiting for a cure.. It would be nice if we all could see past our "hen picking"!
