Patents protect property. But when it comes to medicines, they kill: Excessively high prices and structural barriers are responsable for millions of deaths every year caused by treatable diseases such as diabetes and tuberculosis. This is the reason why we are calling with #patentskill for the remocal of patent protection on all essential medicines.  Patents guarantee profits,  and kill people.
