[#remdesivir] which was developed with at least $79 million in federal funding, will cost private insurers $520 for a single vial, hundreds of times its production cost, which researchers at the University of Liverpool have estimated at 93 cents per dose.
[...]
... given its low production cost, Gilead could #profit from remdesivir even if it was priced at just $1 a day, according to an analysis by Public Citizen. Instead the drug, which was rolled out with the help of the Trump administration, will cost insurers between $3,120 for a five-day course of treatment and $5,720 for a 10-day course.

  ... the biggest single funder of innovation in the US remains the government. In 2017, the US National Institutes of Health spent more than $32bn on research, compared with an estimated $71bn from all the members of #PhRMA, the major pharmaceutical industry #lobbying association.

  Prix d’un produit inefficace, le remdesivir
  ▻https://seenthis.net/messages/887432#message888880
  D’après les calculs d’une équipe de chercheurs anglais, américains et australiens, le coût total de fabrication du remdésivir se situe aux alentours de 0,93 dollar par dose, soit 5,58 dollars pour un traitement en six doses. Autrement dit, 420 fois moins cher que le prix fixé par Gilead. Par ailleurs, le développement du remdésivir a déjà bénéficié d’investissements publics, pour environ 70 millions de dollars, d’après les calculs du cercle de réflexion américain Public Citizen. Selon l’Institute for Clinical and Economic Review, une organisation américaine qui évalue la valeur des médicaments, le prix de Gilead n’est « raisonnablement rentable » que si un bénéfice existe sur la mortalité des patients. Ce qu’aucun essai clinique ne parviendra à mettre en évidence.

Welcome to Pharma Skeletons, by Martin Shkreli.
Stephen Ubl,
Don’t you dare point your finger at me for the pharmaceutical industry’s troubles. It turns out we’ve all made some unpopular moves.

Why South Africa’s health minister is so worried about India caving in to big pharma

South Africa is in the process of introducing a progressive Intellectual property law modelled largely on the Indian Patent Act. Stating that the country was following India’s footsteps but was worried that India was turning pro-pharma, Motsoaledi said, “I have heard a rumour that they [India] want to reverse their [IP] policies. We are very scared and worried [about the developments in India]. Why are they reversing these policies?
(...) [Motsoaledi] was widely quoted in national and international media as saying, “I am not using strong words; I am using appropriate words. This is #genocide.”
He also called upon all South Africans to fight the plot of “satanic magnitude....to the last drop of their blood”. The memo essentially laid out a ‘secret’ plan by #PhRMA (Big Pharma’s lobby body) to discredit the National IP Policy and prevent its passing in Parliament. This has come to be known as the Pharma Gate scandal.
