@CepheidNews & @DanaherCorp – The lower price for your standard TB tests will make a huge difference, thank you. But you can do more! Cheaper tests for XDR-TB, HIV, Ebola, COVID, and so many other diseases could save millions of lives! #PeopleOverProfits
@DaveGreen
Lowering the price of the standard TB test alone is not enough, @DanaherCorp & @CepheidNews! Nerdfighteria is still waiting for you to put #PeopleOverProfits and lower tests for XDR-TB and many other dangerous diseases. It’s #TimeFor5!
