E-drug: Re: Act-Up Action Against Pfizer
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear friends,

Although I basically sympathise with the actions against Pfizer, I 
think it is not exactly the right thing to do.
If HIV infected persons would get proper treatment, there would just 
be no reason to use fluconazole. I think it is primarily the producers 
of anti retorvirals which should be pressed to sunstentially lower 
their prices.
Btw, I also oppose to the term 'AIDS-drug'  for a plain fungostatic 
agent. It shifts the attention from the real issue: antiretroviral 
treatment.
