Yes, I've perused many of the posts. It's truly inspirational to read success stories related to Jakafi. HOWever, the elephant in the room is the ridiculously high cost of the drug. Incyte, the inventor and manufacturer of the drug, is gouging consumers. Not sure what their corporate mission statement is but profiting from patients who find themselves in life-or-death situations, seems indefensible. The term "big pharma" has become ingrained in our culture and frankly leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Just like its counterparts: Big Oil, Big Ag, and Big Tech, Big Pharma holds a monopoly on society and exploits the most vulnerable among us with unchecked economic power and political influence. While I am a capitalist and believe exceptionalism should be rewarded, there are times when profit has replaced consciousness. I've written congressmen/women and encouraged others to do the same. Peace out.
