E-DRUG: BBC: Vatican condemns Aids drug firms (3)
-------------------------------------------------
Dear all,
Kenneth's reaction is a bit too strong on the Vatican. If Kenneth can look
at the way some companies price their medicines, he would support the stance
taken by the Vatican. How can a normal business operation make a profit of
U$517 billion? Definitely it has to be at the cost of some poor child some
where in Africa whose parents or government can not afford. In this vain I
definitely support the Vatican demand on price reductions of ARVs especially
for paediatric formulations.
