Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) Confronted A CEO Thursday For Pricing A Drug Designed To Reduce

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) confronted a CEO Thursday for pricing a drug designed to reduce the risk of HIV transmission at $8 in Australia but over $1,500 in the U.S.

“You’re the CEO of Gilead. Is it true that Gilead made $3 billion in profits from Truvada in 2018?” Ocasio-Cortez asked Gilead CEO Daniel O'Day.

“$3 billion in revenue,” he clarified.

The current list price is $2,000 a month in the United States, correct?“ she asked, referring to Truvada.

“It’s $1,780 in the United States,” O'Day responded.

“Why is it $8 in Australia?” Ocasio-Cortez countered.

“Truvada still has patent protection in the United States and in the rest of the world it is generic,” O'Day explained, adding, “It will be generically available in the United States as of September 2020.”

“I think it’s important here that we notice that we the public, we the people, developed this drug. We paid for this drug, we lead and developed all the patents to create Prep and then that patent has been privatized despite the fact that the patent is owned by the public, who refused to enforce it,” Ocasio-Cortez said.

“There’s no reason this should be $2,000 a month. People are dying because of it and there’s no enforceable reason for it.”

Wait so they're mad cause she is dark skinned? How come I see so much on this yet with Aquaman Jason Mamoa had long mainly dark hair and way tanner I didn't see them complain? Aquaman was originally fairly pale and sun colored hair. It shouldn't matter if she has dark skin or 'a large chest'. From the pictures at the top she looks like she has one of my top favorite things in a cat woman, she looks confident. Like honestly Catwoman is a very confident woman. And also can we remember that these characters are from movies, comics,etc. Cause it's not like we are going to find exact carbon copy look alikes of characters. Looks aren't all there is to a character, there is so much more to it thank skin,chest, etc.

Yes

I have something to say:

give me characters who boast. give me characters that swear. Colourfully. give me characters who smirk, who look smug. Give me characters who sneer. give me characters who bite back. give me characters who stick out their tongues. give me characters that are sassy and ironic.

make them female.

give me characters who flirt, shamelessly so. give me characters who don’t blush. give me characters with exacerbated sexuality, who don’t care about using it to get what they want. give me characters that are confident in their own skins. give me characters who love dressing up. give me characters that love make-up. give me characters that hate wearing dresses and would rather go to a gala barefaced. even barefoot.

make them female.

give me characters who are angry. Frustrated. Enraged and sad. give me characters who are messy. who don’t know how to deal with their emotions. give me characters who want to learn, but they’re in too much pain right now. Give me characters who need love and support.

give me characters who know their emotions all too well, and can deal with them. give me characters who know they can’t do emotional labour for others. give me characters who would rather be rational, despite being in touch with their emotions.

make them female.

give me characters who are quiet, reserved. give me characters who don’t like speaking to strangers, who don’t like being the center of attention. give me characters who are sweet and loving and fun to be around, but would just rather be alone. give me characters who would go to a party and come home early to finish their book. or wouldn’t even go in the first place.

or give me characters who are shy and quiet until they are around people they know. give me shy characters that love going to parties but would also enjoy staying home drinking their favourite tea.

make them female.

give me characters with dry-humour. characters who are serious. characters who are the antithesis of laid-back. give me characters who don’t speak, they bark when they’re angry. give me characters who can be mean and nasty, but mostly quiet.

give me characters who are scary when they lower their voices. give me characters who don’t have to speak up, or even speak at all, to unsettle everyone in a room.

and make them female

give me characters who have suffered injustices. give me characters who are prepared for vengeance. give me characters who are determined, obstinate and deadly. give me characters who are observant, intelligent and cunning. give me minds that scheme against powerful men.

Make. Them. Female.
