    America can eat shit.

    We should be telling them that if they increase tariffs over Pharma, we'll just adopt India's position of not honoring pharmaceutical patents.

    Every action taken by our President Tiny Dick is, in a word, shit. However, amongst a stinking pile of nothing but shit, this one stinks to high heaven. It's a well known fact we get charging fucking way too much for anything healthcare related, especially pharmaceuticals. And now we're even more fucked. All because everyone in the world knows that of all the world leaders that have ever lived, or will live, his dick is by far the tiniest. 🤬🤮

    Edit: Please don't make me eat (more) shit, btw! I mean, c'mon, just look at how much shit this jackass is forcing down our throats already. 😔

    We should but Labor are in government.

    Could be worse though the Liberals could be in and they’d just say “Yes Sir!” And dismantle the PBS.

    We need a fallback plan for when all else fails, since we obviously can't trust politicians and Big Pharma with our health. Wasn't there an open source project aimed at making the knowledge of how to synthesize drugs available to all? We need to build on that, and also a searchable database of naturally occurring compounds and their pharmacological effects. I want to be able to search a list drugs that might have similar effects to the ones I'm taking, just in case I don't get my Rxs refilled for whatever reason.

    The challenge with that database would be to keep the Ivermectin Vitamin A RFK detox brainworm people from polluting it with nonsense.

    Definitely. It would have to be curated similarly to Wikipedia, with discussions, disclaimers and ample references. Also, it would need to be stressed that alternative medicines only be used as a last resort.
