Buying Into Big Pharma's Solutions Just Got More Expensive. FDA Approves Most Expensive Drug Yet at $3.5 Million Per Gene Therapy Dose
Hemophilia B is a rare disorder. Only 1 in 40,000 are diagnosed with it.
But hey, for $3.5 million per dose drug maker CSL Behring claims their concoction can cure you in one IV shot. http://bit.ly/3EHImKR
How does it work? Well, according to CSL they:
use modified non-disease-causing viruses called “vectors” that can enter certain cells. Vectors act as delivery vehicles, carrying a package of genetic instructions to specific cells.
Once delivered, the package acts like a generator that plugs into the cellular machinery, allowing a person to generate their own levels of a missing or defective protein.
Not to worry though, CSL claims that the genetic instructions remain, but do not become part of the person's DNA. http://bit.ly/3XHz2iT
Haven't we heard that story before?
Plus, they claim it will save the patient money in the long run.
Sounds like a win-win, huh? Kinda like the COVID mRNA shot did too.
