I mailed Danaher some letters this morning to tell them they owe us an audit, and it's #TimeFor5! I packed some to mail on vacay in Cali, too.

We've spent more than a year waiting for Danaher to reduce the cost of diagnostic tests so that the people who most need them can actually use them. We could #ENDTB if Danher agrees that it's #Timefor5. #TBsky

Happy World TB Day. Here is what you can do to end TB: Join our call sessions this week to ask your congresspeople to oppose foreign aid cuts! Write to your government asking for more TB funding. Tell Danaher that it is #TimeFor5. Yes, we can end TB!

We’d really love to stop this counter at some point, Danaher. But we can’t, until you produce your audit. If I handed in a project nearly 500 days late, not only would I be getting a zero, I’d be very embarrassed.

Danaher promised to release an audit of the cost of production of their GeneXpert tests. Over a year later, they still haven't made the audit public.

Just so they don't forget, we've added a new feature to tbfighters.org. No need to thank us, Danaher!
A graphic that reads, "Days since Danaher promised an audit: 487 and counting..." The number 487 is stylized like a flip counter.

The hits just keep coming! GeneXpert can detect TB and RIF resistance in urine in people with HIV. This could be a huge step to #EndTB, if #Danaher would make GeneXpert accessible by lowering the price of their tests to $5. It's #TimeFor5

In a 7 country study, we found that urine Xpert Ultra was as sensitive & more specific than AlereLAM for #TB diagnosis in people with #HIV

Also predicts mortality and allows detection of Rif resistance.

Turns out I still have a thank you note from a therapy session and stamps from sending #TimeFor5 letters to #DanaherCorp, so I am doing it. I know it's not like, a big thing, but I do think SOME recognition is warranted. He -unlike TONS of politicians- is trying to do something at least

Apparently Danaher and Cepheid were really afraid of a few parody accounts on bluesky bc they've been shut down, RIP :( If Danaher really wants to protect their brand reputation tho, they need to drop the price of their tests! #TimeFor5

I swear my cats are pro- #tuberculosis activists. I’ll be on my computer trying to read about #TimeFor5 and they’ll be like “More time ‘time for finding my butt in your face’! PEPFAR? How about PETFUR all over your keyboard?”

Unfortunately they are very cute so I let them get away with it.

Any day now, I'm hoping to look under the tree and find a nice big transparent third party audit of the cost of producing a GeneXpert test. But until then, I'll just have to keep on singing. Let the audit show, #Danaher! It's #TimeFor5

Danaher needs to produce their long-overdue audit. Can you believe we have been waiting for two occurrences of #WorldTBDay now?

It's #WorldTBDay.

To ensure quick diagnosis and early treatment, WHO recommends the use of rapid molecular #tuberculosis (TB) tests as the initial diagnostic test for all persons with signs and symptoms of TB.

Freddy Mercury died of AIDS 33 years ago today. With modern medical technology, he likely would have lived. Never forget how much progress against major infectious disease has been made in a short time. We are at risk now of rolling back much of that progress.
