SO GLAD my husband and I don't take any rx meds. This could be a blessing in disguise for people who take a boatload of shit that just causes them more problems. I wish people would try and find other ways to treat their issues as much of pharma is crap.

The free market cultists on Wall Street aren't concerned with survival of the nation just maximized profits.

The rich in the US used be industrialists who built things. Now the rich are ponzi schemers and speculators. They are to nations what locusts are to farmers.

U.S. policymakers worry about China 'weaponizing' drug exports

“Medicines can be used as a weapon of war against the United States,” Rosemary Gibson, a senior adviser on health care issues at the bioethics-focused Hastings Center and co-author of “China Rx: Exposing the Risks of America's Dependence on China for Medicine,” told lawmakers last month. “Supplies can be withheld.

So people in China are running around licking things and intentionally trying to contaminate things with this virus and we are still willing to have them manufacture and ship meds to us?

Article is factual. Been in the business for nearly 50 years. Nothing less than insanity. Always wondered how drugs made in China that are temperature sensitive get to the US. I know they're not air freighted. 3 weeks across the ocean in a metal box under the sun. Oh, never mind, it'll be fine.



Just like everything else that comes from China.

JUSA companies buying stuff as cheap as possible, import it, then

rip your balls off when you need the meds. They have to make that

stalk market happy. Very simple.

If people had to stop taking their meds
they might discover they could live without
them.

They might discover they are HEALTHIER and
HAPPIER without all those foreign and often
poisonous chemical compounds floating through
their systems.

Our medicine cabinetS look like a pharmacy
and my wife takes whatever the PA tells her
to for every little ache and pain, and the
meds CAUSE more PROBLEMS than they solve.

Oh, the high blood pressure pill gives you
dry mouth? Take these two pills to correct
that side effect.

Oh, those new pills give you the jimmy legs?
Take this pill twice daily.

SHIT, they have NO IDEA WHATSOEVER IN THIS WORLD,
what all those combinations of drugs
(each with their own sets of side-effects -
SOMETIMES DEADLY) have on each other and on YOU.

Add to that the effects of DIET and supplements
you may take, and you may find yourself,
like my wife, a ticking time-bomb.

My grandmother never took ANY of this SHIT
and she lived to be 93!

Big shot CEO's are going to need to find a way to make those drugs here in the USA. Might need to knock a few million off of their annual salary.

Never let foreign nations, especially competitors and hostiles, have any control over your supply of food, medicine, electronics, fuel, etc unless it is something you just can't produce...stupid stupid stupid what the US has allowed it's corporations to do.

These other countries have NO STANDARDS and Red China is our enemy. We should not be reliant on them so that a few very wealthy people can become even wealthier and completely run our world.

I do think giant multinational corporations need to be brought to heel and forced to bring back business to THIS country. Sherman anti-trust laws need to be used. If they don't want to be AMERICAN businesses, maybe we shouldn't let them SELL in America!
