It can be done, pharma can be heroes.

Earlier this week I was sent an article, it soon spread over social media and news. ‘Drug company not allowing access to a drug that could save a 7 year old boy.’ My heart ached so I reached out to his mom to let her know I was living this nightmare too. I shared my tears that constantly pour for Jack and now also for her son.

As of tonight Chimerix has decided to give Josh the drug that could save his life. What an incredible ending to a heart aching story that I know oh so well. Thank you Chimerix for putting this boys life as a priority, thanks for being brave!

For his family, please send a huge thank you to Chimerix for the taking a risk to save a precious boy. ir@chimerix.com
