The point is well taken. I certainly agree wholeheartedly. I also believe that to make a difference, we need funding from a major donor or a group of major donors, such as Gates foundation, to lead the crusade. The small, though enthusiastic, grassroot support does not change the tide. We cannot totally blame on the drug companies whose major responsibility is indeed to provide profits for their stockholders. We need to arouse those who are key trend setters to see our objectives. If we would start a letter writing campaign, I would be more than happy to participate.
