Patients are not passive participants. They are stakeholders
               in the biologic economy, and they deserve therapies that
               last.


               What the patient and advocacy world can do:


                   •  Demand immune transparency. Ask for the
                       drug’s ADA rates. Its average time to SLOR. How
                       often patients switch off it in the real world. Push
                       for these metrics to be disclosed, just like side effect
                       profiles.
                   •  Campaign for immune-informed access. Push
                       payers to prioritize shelf-stable, durable biologics.
                       Ask regulators to include immune compatibility in
                       their approval decisions.
                   •  Tell the truth. Share stories not just of response—
                       but of rejection, switching, burden. The more
                       visible these patterns are, the harder they become to
                       ignore.
                   •  Educate fellow patients. Help others understand
                       that immune rejection isn’t a moral failure or
                       personal defect—it’s a design flaw. And it’s fixable.


               The movement will scale when patients stop accepting
               planned obsolescence—and start demanding biological
               endurance.




               The Movement’s Thesis: Persistence is the New
               Potency


               Whether you’re a researcher in a lab, a founder pitching a
               VC, or a patient tracking your biologic journey—the new
               rallying cry is clear:
