00:00 There is no price on a child's life for a parent.
00:03 You do absolutely anything and quite right.
00:05 Though, I'd like to say that this is a drug that's existed
00:08 for 20 years and been used for the treatment of asthma.
00:13 Suddenly, and I say suddenly, we're
00:15 hearing news as we are talking about today
00:17 that this same drug, without any change,
00:19 can be used for the treatment of food allergies.
00:21 It's taken 20 years to get to that point.
00:23 It's interesting.
00:24 And I think on behalf of the families, the millions
00:27 in this country who would say, this is fascinating.
00:31 Can this help us?
00:31 I would actually make a somewhat impassioned appeal
00:35 to the drug company here on behalf of those families.
00:38 To the firm that makes the drug, they've
00:41 made the money for 20 years.
00:43 And they've had the payback on all of their R&D
00:45 and everything, the costs.
00:47 This is a chance for a pharmaceutical company,
00:50 perhaps, to do truly the right thing by this country
00:53 and the population of food allergic people
00:55 and make this drug available at a fair and reasonable price.
