Depending on an enemy for life saving drugs was never a good idea, and now it's going to cost us. Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst. "America is at that awkward stage.

Once we have identified the individuals or groups, they should be prosecuted for negligence and dereliction of duty. At the same time, all the major Drug Companies and manufacturers of medical equipment should be ordered to bring the manufacture of these drugs and supplies back into the USA, and make sure that the component chemicals and parts needed to make these critical supplies are readily available in the USA. No matter how "cheap" a product is because it is made offshore, vs at home, the low price is no good if the item, medication, supplies are not available to us for any reason. The Communist Chinese have proven over and over again that they are not worthy of our trust and we should NEVER BE DEPENDENT ON THEM FOR ANYTHING CRITICAL AGAIN> |

Quoting: Cap’n Obvious The American Association of Hospital Pharmacists track drug shortages and the list is massive and includes a whose who of key drugs. Shortages so severe the FDA is allowing use of expired drugs to fill void. Almost all of them due to manufacturing problems - read that “Made in China” and not available. Azithromycin which has been in the news a lot lately - “Pfizer has azithromycin injection on shortage due to manufacturing delays.” Basic IVs - “ Pfizer has 50% dextrose injection on shortage due to manufacturing delays.” Just about every widely used IV antibiotic is in short supply. [link to www.ashp.org (secure)] Fake news. Donald said the virus is nothing to worry about lol. Donald said the virus will magically go away when the warm weather comes in April lol. Why not wait and see if that will be true before ridiculing him? Oh right, you have no critical thinking skills. "When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change" |

We are some stupid fucking idiots for letting this happen. Now, let Americans fix this shit, cause that's what we do. This "Made in China" has been going on for decades. Way before Donald Trump announced his candidacy for president, he complained we were giving our manufacturing jobs to China. One of the first things he fought for, as president, was to bring those jobs back to the USA. He knew. Just look at this! It's unbelievable!

"Globally it is estimated that 142,000 people died in 2013 from adverse effects of medical treatment, an increase of 51 percent from 94,000 in 1990.[9] In the United States, estimated deaths per year include: [26][27][28][29] 12,000 due to unnecessary surgery 7,000 due to medication errors in hospitals 20,000 due to other errors in hospitals 80,000 due to nosocomial infections in hospitals 106,000 due to non-error, negative effects of drugs Based on these figures, iatrogenesis may cause as many as 225,000 deaths per year in the United States (excluding recognizable error). An earlier Institute of Medicine report estimated 230,000 to 284,000 iatrogenic deaths annually.[26]" [link to en.wikipedia.org (secure)] |

It’s all possible, would bring money and jobs back to OUR COUNTRY. It will just take some willingness by corporations to care more about Americans than about their own personal greed. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 77590476 United States 03/27/2020 11:23 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Well, according to the Hoax-tards, none of this is true! Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77432258 “Clearly”, China is still manufacturing these drugs, but the pharmaceutical companies are hoarding all of it while claiming there is a shortage due to manufacturing problems! So where do all of YOU stand? . I have little doubt that big pharmacy is hoarding so as to up the price. All big pharmacy are evil. If they cared about our country, they would be using their research labs and university labs to begin production. Not saying it would be easy but it can be done. Plus, places like NY are most likely grossly overstating their need because they want stuff free from the federal like Cuoma asking for 60,000 ventilators. Most all hospitals administrators should be foredeck because of how they sent money on frills instead of essentials. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 76884807 United States 03/27/2020 12:06 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The number one Pharmaceutical compounding company in America was PharMEDium Healthcare, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Amerisource-Bergen Corporation. On or about May 22, 2019, The US Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois (Chicago), acting on a lawsuit they brought on behalf of the FDA, entered into a Consent Decree with Pharmedium about their production methods. The FDA wanted Pharmedium to utilize standards of a Pharmaceutical MANUFACTURER instead of those they previously used as a Compounding company (Pharmacy) that merely mixed drugs. The new standards proved so cumbersome and so unprofitable, that on January 30, 2020 Amerisource-Bergen Corporation decided to cease Pharmedium Operations and CLOSE that business. Just like that ---- Pharmedium, the largest pharmaceutical compounding business in America ---- was out of business. Here we are, two or three months later, the country is running out of medicines. As your loved ones die from lack of medicines, you can thank Scott Gotleib, who was FDA Commissioner under whose tenure the lawsuit was brought, The FDA itself, and the US Attorney for the northern District of Illinois (who brought the suit). It was THEIR actions that caused the destruction of the largest pharmaceutical compounding company in this country. |
