So glad Joe Biden is making drugs more affordable.

FDA greenlights $3.5M-a-dose drug | LinkedIn

CSL Behring's hemophilia B gene therapy, Hemgenix, has been touted as lowering the costs associated with the blood-clotting disorder, as the single-dose IV minimizes the need for ongoing intervention.

It's unfair to tag Joe Biden on this one, or even to say the price is unfair. Insurance will only pay a fraction of the list price on this. And the therapy is revolutionary and seems to cure what is otherwise a life-threatening and chronically debilitating disease.

You’re correct it’s not Joe Biden’s fault but I can assure you when he runs in 2024, if he remembers, he will bring up how he lowered prescription drug prices because he cares.
I get the cost and I don’t blame the manufacturer I’m just sick of the lefts narrative and lies.

The point is: who can afford this treatment? Are hemophiliacs all billionaires? So, the insurance companies won’t pay the sticker price - so what will they pay? 2.5 million? That going to really help lower health insurance costs. The fact that the maker would even launch a treatment that costs that much shows you that the medical system is a money printing scam.

Dug into the literature on this, and it appears to work out to 26 weeks post-therapy.

I'm NOT going to post the links to the original articles or the clinical trial data. If you want that , it's in this Wikistupedia article - Etranacogene dezaparvovec - Wikipedia

The original trial was in 3 patients, and the clinical trials were on 10 patients.

Not unusual for a genetic disorder found in 1:40,000 people, mostly men - there's not a lot of people out there with this genetic disorder.

Certain haemophilias were considered to be closely linked to close inter-breeding, especially in royal families - Haemophilia in European royalty - Wikipedia

I have no idea how anyone would pay for this unless they were rich.

Maybe the lefties will have tax payers foot the bill - there MUST be a link to climate change, racism or transphobia somewhere.

So you’re essentially telling us they made this drug for nearly no one? Between the low number of people that have it and the cost it will not get used very much.

What famous person do we know who has a history of showering with his daughter?

Might there be an heir we haven't heard of that will need this drug that help cure a disease caused by INBREEDING?
