GLOBAL JUSTICE AND VACCINES FOR THE POOR
Very brief description goes here
The pneumococcal AMC needs changes to avoid sinking GAVI
The only history of this global policy tool and why we need to use open design to do it better.
Two-thirds of $1.5 bn donated by taxpayers will go to extra profits rather than to saving poor children if the pneumococcal AMC is used
Advanced Market Commitments to encourage new vaccines for the poor are impractical, too expensive, and benefit the Big Four more than poor children
PHARMAMYTHS AND REALITIES
Recent record-high cost estimates of R&D are not only untrue but can impede policy for global health justice
PHARMAMYTHS AND REALITIES
Prescription drugs are less effective and more dangerous than patients or physicians think
Cost of research per new drug is much lower than claimed
How drug marketing undermines patient safety and public health
Provides evidence that research and other costs are recovered at European prices. Higher US drugs prices go largely to more marketing and profits.
Three Harvard professors violated nearly every standard when we questioned the Tufts-DiMasi high estimate of R&D costs.
The Foreign Free Rider claim is a myth. Dollar for dollar, Europeans have discovered more global new drugs than Americans
84% of all funds to discover new drugs comes from public sources
Costs much lower than claimed and recovered in 18 months; so price can be low & profitable.
