Dear All
As you may have learnt earlier today -- TAC got in our court papers on =
time despite the State's withholding of critical material from the MCC =
from us (after using it themselves, selectively no doubt). =20
There was significant support from local experts -- thanx from TAC to:=20
Professor Quarraisha Abdool Kariem - epidemiology
Dr. Alan Colm -- Eastern Cape HIV/AIDS Expenditure
Professor Peter Cooper -- Public sector paediatricians
Professor Peter Folb -- regulatory process
Dr. Andrew James Grant -- Rural Kwazulu-Natal Capacity
Professor Nicoli Nattrass -- economics of MTCT
Dr. Hermann Reuter -- Khayelitsha MTCT Programme
Dr. Pierre Schoeman -- Nevirapine Resistance
Professor Helen Schneider -- Health Systems Capacity
Professor Robin Wood -- Nevirapine: Safety and Efficacy
Thanx also to many other locals some preferring to remain unnamed and =
others whose names I may not have.
Internationally, we wish to thank many people some who contributed =
affidavits and others who provided their expertise in this second round =
-- they include:
Professor Tim Farley
Gregg Gonsalves
Professor Laura Guay
Dr. David Katzenstein
Dr. Brooks Jackson
Professor Lynne Mofenson
Professor Mark Wainberg
Professor Cathy Wilfert
This replying affidavit together with all the affidavits in our founding =
papers make an unanswerable moral, scientific and economic argument. =
You can read some of it at www.tac.org.za on the documents page.
Our legal and constitutional argument will be developed and presented by =
some of South Africa's best lawyers -- Mr. Geoff Budlender, Adv. Gilbert =
Marcus SC and Adv Bongani Majola. They have already done a sterling =
job. TAC's special thanx to them.
Regards
Zackie Achmat on behalf of the TAC Executive
