The balm served up in Gilead will heal will shrink will shrug off the losses. Profit made elsewhere means that $300 for a bottle of the pills in India/ Less for improv. Hep cats could lay it on ya ... $10 a day or less for Sovaldi. That’s 1%. Not the. That’s 1% of what it costs for the Balm in Gilead. Baby baby baby baby Babylon. By the river baby lay me down down Babylon chaunt. Gilead can blunt criticism concerning 91/half/less/millions. Less than. Less grumbling. Less mumbling. Less never say a word. A mumbling. Never said it. Never said a mumbling word. Left behind: China, Brazil, Turkey. China plate. Brazil nut. Turkey time. Tacky. Tactless. The tactic is less about money and more blunt. Less here, more there. Less is more, then. 130 million > 350 to 500 thousand. As in: More than 130 million people are infected with the hepatitis C virus, and 350,000 to 500,000 people die from the infections each year, according to the World Health Organization. Whoah. Ebola, lalalalala bamba. Bowling for combined sales, lurid scenes, blood seeping. It just doesn’t make copy. Malaria. Yawn. Hepatitis. Yawn. AIDS. Yawn. On the other hand: STEM. Eyes light up for math. Eyes light up at math. Eyes light up at the math. Math madness. Big Money, money: maker: The version of hepatitis C that is most prevalent in India requires that patients take Sovaldi for 24 weeks, meaning that they would need six bottles for a total cost of $1,800, Mr. Alton said. Gilead will receive a royalty of 7% of sales of the generic versions. Chaching 7 per 100 for 18 of those Benjamins. All about the. 70 and 560 and chachingalingling. Dang. 630 in his head, Mr. Alton said. Babam. Kazam. Badabang badaboo. Besides. Sovaldi is on pace to become one of the world’s top-selling drugs, with more than $10 billion in sales this year. In the U.S., a 12-week-supply costs $84,000, which some critics say is too high for a lifesaving drug. Gilead has said dang, baby, it’s cheaper than those treatments you used to try, and they didn’t even work, plus dang baby, it’s cheaper than a liver transplant and dang this balm is 90% guaranteed moneyback make you feel like a million bucks. Or at least balmy in 12 weeks. 90>60. Undeniably. There is a balm in Gilead. Ain’t all wounds can be made whole. Made whole. Made whole.
