A clause in Barack Obama’s Trans-Pacific Partnership, (TPP) would establish an
even bigger monopoly for the pharmaceutical industry. The deal allows
Big Pharma to block cancer patients from being able to access affordable
drugs. Part of the US proposal extends de facto monopolies on
biological medicines by up to eight years. ~ L.J. Devon – Video
One cancer patient
named Zahara Heckscher was recently arrested at a Westin Hotel in
Atlanta, Georgia, for speaking about the issue while a Trans-Pacific
Partnership meeting was taking place in the building.
The meeting
included policymakers from dozens of countries. Zahara was not welcome
there.
She led her protest in the hallway outside the meeting
with a shirt that read, “I Have Cancer. I Can’t Wait Years.” She is
protesting the “death sentence” in the controversial TPP trade
agreement.
Not only is the agreement selling away Americans’
sovereignty, destroying democracy and putting corporations in control,
but it is also blocking countless cancer patients from receiving
affordable cancer medications.
For those who have become
dependent on cancer control drugs, the prices are set to go up under the
TPP deal.
The deal gives the biggest pharmaceutical companies strict
control over the drug market, keeping affordable generics out and
blocking more valuable therapies from ever competing in the medical
marketplace.
National sovereignty sold away, democracy shattered by Obama’s TPP deal
Obama’s
TPP deal is literally a war on cancer patients. Those who expose what’s
going on, like Zahara Heckscher, are swiftly carried away by police.
This video shows how Heckscher was treated when she came to the TPP meeting in Atlanta. She was whisked away in handcuffs because she refused to leave the area outside the meeting.
As the above video shows, democracy is dead in the US, and the
government that is supposed to represent the people has been sold away
to powerful industries and self-serving bureaucrats.
After the arrest, Heckscher explained her position:
“For thousands of women to die unnecessary of breast cancer
because of the TPP is a horrible, cruel, premeditated, and avoidable
catastrophe.“The provisions being decided by TPP ministers today could
allow drug monopolies on biologics for 8 years. Some of these medicines
cost up to tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of dollars a
year.“When you have breast cancer today, you can’t wait 8 years or 7
years or 6 years for a treatment to become available or affordable.“When
you have cancer, even a one-year delay in affordable medicine can be a
death sentence. That is why we call this proposed provision of the TPP a
‘death sentence clause.’If it passes, thousands of women like me will
die waiting,” she stated.
As the pharmaceutical industry holds
people’s lives in the balance, the TPP deal brings on the final death
blow for many, making struggling people beg for their cancer treatments.
Heckscher has used trastuzumab (Hercepin) and pertuzumab (Perjeta) and
is currently on denosumab (Xgeva) treatments while undergoing
chemotherapy as part of a clinical trial.
Under the new TPP deal, her
access to these treatments may be cut off.
The good news for
Zahara and millions of others is that there are many actions they can
take personally to create an internal environment within their bodies to
make cancer regress.
