"While #JohnsonAndJohnson’s main patent for #bedaquiline expired in July, it had faced criticism for using secondary patents – in which small modifications are made to a product to extend a #patent and prevent a product from being sold by competitors." #GenericDrugs

Anybody owning J&J shares planning on swapping them for #Kenvue shares? I hold a small position in J&J and I'm inclined to hold onto them. #stocks #johnsonandjohnson

Los investigadores demostraron que el polvo de talco contaminado con asbesto causaba cáncer. #johnsonandjohnson escindió la responsabilidad resultante en una subsidiaria, y ahora ha comenzado a demandar a los investigadores que descubrieron el vínculo. https://www.reuters.com/legal/litigation/johnson-johnson-sues-researchers-who-linked-talc-cancer-2023-07-13/

Johnson & Johnson sues researchers who linked #talc to #cancer

Defendants say the lawsuits are meant to "silence" scientists

"J&J is facing more than 38,000 lawsuits alleging that the company's talc products, including its Baby Powder, were contaminated by asbestos and caused cancers including ovarian cancer and mesothelioma. J&J is attempting to resolve those lawsuits, as well as any future talc lawsuits, through an $8.9 billion settlement in bankruptcy court.

"J&J says that its talc products are safe and do not contain asbestos.

"J&J has stopped selling talc-based Baby Powder in favor of cornstarch-based products, citing an increase in lawsuits and 'misinformation' about the talc product's safety."

The #StopTB partnership released a statement this morning saying #JohnsonAndJohnson has allowed them to produce generic #bedaquiline and make it available in most developing countries, even in those where the secondary patent is still in effect.

While J&J haven’t released their own statement yet, and this isn’t a complete dropping of their patent, this is a huge step forward in ending TB and deserves to be celebrated.

Here's a call to action that has the potential to save 6 million lives:

#JohnsonandJohnson is about to extend an important #TB medication patent, which could have devastating consequences. Here's what we can do:

Johnson and Johnson is trying to extend their patent on life saving tuberculosis medication. This will result in 6 million unnecessary deaths. Call them out. Spread the word.

Looks like on Twitter they’re using the hashtag #PatientsNotPatents for calling out #JohnsonAndJohnson. Remember to capitalize the first letter of each word in the hashtag so that screen readers can read them properly!

@johngreen has a video we need to share. #JohnsonAndJohnson is playing patent games to keep a lifesaving #TB drug from becoming generic. I'm going to let J&J know they're not welcome in my house until they quit playing stupid games with people's lives.

Since I know many people here on dftba.club deleted their twitters, I’ll repost john and hank’s tweets regarding #JohnsonAndJohnson’s quest to kill millions with treatable #Tuberculosis to make a few more bucks on #Bedaquiline.

I’ll post them as unlisted replies to this toot to minimize spam, so if you want to view them you can follow me or return to this post later.

I’m currently on mobile so I’ll be a bit slow due to alt text taking a bit to write.

We’ve got work to do! #bedaquiline #johnsonandjohnson #tuberculosis

Jexit is here! Johnson quits as MP after lying about partygate. Brexit was his biggest lie. Time to rethink our relationship with Europe. #JohnsonAndJohnson #ByeByeBoris

Since #FedEx is typically involved in a superset of UPS’ wrongdoing, I searched them out specifically and bingo:

Johnson & Johnson did say
That their talc made people ill each day
They must pay the bill
For causing much ill
Eight point nine billion's the sum they must pay

In today’s episode we have the #NLRB ruling broad non-disparagement clauses in exchange for #severance payments impermissible, more #Section230 tea leaf reading, the “crime fraud exception,” and Johnson and Johnson must pay up for pelvic mesh products.
