SPECIAL REPORT: A new article in the Journal of Virus Eradication published yesterday explored the cost of mass producing several drugs that have shown distinct promise in the global fight against #coronavirus.
By:@AlanRMacLeod
mintpressnews.com/new-research-s…
The research, by Dr. Andrew Hill from the Department of Translational Medicine, University of #Liverpool, found treatments used to treat #SARS and #Ebola, could be produced for just $0.93 per daily dose, and a combination of #HepatitisC medications can be made for just $0.39.
This would translate to just $9 and $5 respectively for a full course of treatment.
Instead, those #drugs are being sold for thousands of dollars each, proving that the private, for-profit #pharmaceutical industry is ill-equipped to handle a health crisis like #COVID19 .
