Interesting, I wonder what has caused the increased demand?
Oh, and the pharm company being shut down for quality issues. That is interesting too. That’s what caused the baby food shortage, right?
Quality issues at a pharm company... huh.... didn’t interfere one bit with the “vax” production when they had QC issues.
Simple, you prioritize patients who Virtue Signal unequivocal Vocal support for Children's Sex "Reassignment" Surgery directed by Public School "Counselors", Tran-sexual Persons, Homosexuals by Birth, Endorse an Infinite number of "Genders", and Reparations for everyone NOT White.
Which is unchanged fro your current policy.
There's a rare talent...
The answer is that docs are diluting their standard doses. A 10-15% reduction for a few rounds is not going to make a significant difference.
At least that is what the head of our Oconcolgy Department explained last week.
“These are comments that have been shared in the media by oncologists throughout the country as a response to the chemotherapy drug shortages that started earlier this year.”
Oh, just ignore what’s going on with our drug (and related) situation, due to goading China on Taiwan. Everything will be fine, what really matters is UKRAINE!!!, UKRAINE!!!, UKRAINE!!!.
After all, do we really need pharmaceuticals, really?
Let me guess. “PUTIN’S chemotherapy drug shortage.”
Like most things, it is likely due to a combination of variables.
A combination in which several of the factors shouldn’t be happening. But they are because the leftists in power have maliciously gummed things up.
I’ve told people for years, if you have a medication that you can’t do without, stockpile it if you can. I quit telling my BIL and his commie wife. They run out, it’s their problem. My wife and I have ceased to care what happens to them if things get really bad.
I haven’t forgotten what happened in Greece, but apparently most people in the USA have.
I keep a 15-18 month supply of my heart meds (only one drug thankfully). If I see things going sideways I’ll immediately get it up to 24 months.
Miggies are coming to America for their healthcare because it’s “free”. All of us Americans are going to be ****ed pretty soon. Meds are going to skyrocket and be harder than hell to get. Don’t forget to ask for some more chips and salsa.
My German Shepherd mix went to an oncology center a little over a year ago. Got 8 months of chemo for lymphoma and total cost, no insurance, was 8,000 bucks. Gave her another 18 months of great quality of life. Lost her to old age at almost 15. But she was there at my wedding in great health. Got a few last Bonanza airplane rides and one more tomahawk steak with a footlong bone.
But I wondered what that same chemo would have cost a human.
A medical friend of mine saw the protocol they gave her and shook his head. Said it was straight up standard things they would use.
Interesting, on dogs it doesn’t hit them the way it does people with the side effects.
I’ve been told that, because I am on palliative care, I no longer qualify to receive carboplatin.
A government does not maintain an expense unless there is value in its continuance.
Elections have consequences.
My bet is bill gates or some other depopulation ghoul is behind this.
It’s not just chemo drugs. It’s frickin’ everything. Antibiotics, antivirals, antiemetics (specifically Zofran ODT), Adderall and similar drugs (for fatties to lose weight; it’s basically legal meth in a pill), Ozempic and similar pen injectors (again, fat people wanting a magic pill), analgesics like Fentanyl, Potassium (20meq), and stuff I can’t immediately recall.
My bosses have never seen it like this before.
If the doctors get desperate will they start using inexpensive and nontoxic treatments like IP6, curcumin, and vitamin C?
No, they would rather let their patients die than do that. And in some states they might even be prosecuted and lose their licenses for saving lives that way.
I was fortunate the compounds were available when I needed them three months ago
This won’t be a big “news” story until they come up with an angle to blame it on Trump.
Poison. It just prolongs your life for a little while so the drug pushers can make more profit.
