Great. As if the American people weren’t already paying too much for medication. Now, they’re going to be paying more. And Trump is going to blame it on tariffs—that he started.
He’ll be blaming it on the retaliatory tariffs.
His tariffs are the best/perfect, it’s all these unnecessary tariffs these other countries insist on imposing in response that are to blame 🤹♂️
The man is literally an existential threat to Americans

Great! Medicines will now be even more expensive for patients in the United States. Genius!
That includes generics, majority of them are created in india
Because ozempic is just too cheap.
Novo produces a lot of Wegovy/Ozempic in the US, in North Carolina specifically. But I don’t know if it’s enough to cover US demand, probably not.
From ingredients imported mostly from China, if it is like about any other medication.
Maybe. Outlines how this whole tariff thing is dumb in a globalised economy.
Basically all basics for US manufacturing comes from India or (mostly) China. The US does not produce the screws that keep American products together, nor do they make the myriads of little electronic parts found on any electronics board. Without nails from China, the American stick&cardboard houses would not hold together.
As always, the misery is the point!
That’s good medicine wasn’t expensive enough already in this country.
Alot of generic drugs come from India.
Virtually all chemical compounds used to manufacture all pharmaceuticals in the world come from China and India in massive, massive quantities
Dental silicas do. Some come from the UK. Titanium dioxide from Czech. Sodium saccharine/Saccharine sodium from China.
I absolutely can’t wait to see the carnage in the stock market tomorrow morning
I just got out of the stock market recently to get myself a bigger apartment. Felt really insecure about the decision until now (budgeting is tight). Feel for everyone that have their savings in this dumpster fire.
There’s only so much I can pump 😩

I saw my mom watching The Handmaids Tale today. It made me think, are we slowly transforming into Gilead?
FYI, I know Gilead is United States. I read the book.
We’re on course to becoming the White Lords’ Church from the VN White or Black.
In that world, Trump is dead by the 2030s. Unrest and political troubles killed an alien attempting to make first contact. But religious MAGA, looking for a leader, decides to support the aliens. They claim that the aliens are angels sent by God, pointing to various events in the Bible as clear evidence of their influence. And then, since the people are eager to overthrow Musk, they decide to sign up with the aliens. Musk and his buddies are all dead/converted when the Church assumes control of the US in the late 2060s/early 2070s. And then they take over everything else by the start of the 22nd century.
The Church is Gilead if they favored Brave New World over 1984. And they’re a lot more stable, and rule a lot longer than Gilead, lasting until the 27th century at least.
They claim that the aliens are angels sent by God, pointing to various events in the Bible as clear evidence of their influence.
Lol wait, so the Ancient Aliens people are gonna influence nation wide decisions? Hell yeah, that’ll be fun.
They should watch evangelion then.
Yep. All of them. They’re considered a joke at first, but things get a lot more serious when they elect a Pope to run the US. China holds out for a while, but things turn south for them when they legalize conversion to the White Lords’ Church faith.
So yeah. Jesus was brought back to life by an alien. Muhammad spoke to an alien named Gabriel. The Buddha is actually an alien inhabiting a human body (they can do that in the story).
That was the first thing I thought watching it. Eerily too close. Makes it a bit more difficult to be entertained by it.
Oh also, apparently Elisabeth Moss is a Scientologist. So, eck. Unsure if I’ll continue.
Well I grew up having a crush on Moss from The West Wing but, no, not gonna watch it.
Technically, Gilead is a breakaway state from the US ☝️🤓
Found this recently and I’m betting it ties into this somehow: H.R.661 - MIRACLE Medical Technology Act of 2025. https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/661
Introduced in House (01/23/2025)
Maximizing Israel-U.S. Research Advancement and Collaborative Leadership in Emerging Medical Technology Act of 2025 or the MIRACLE Medical Technology Act of 2025
This bill requires the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to implement a program for the United States and Israel to collaborate on developing and delivering health care products and services. The program must include coordinated activities in specified areas, including research and development, use of innovative technology, intellectual property protection, regulatory harmonization, disease prevention, and biological product manufacturing. The bill authorizes HHS to establish a joint United States-Israel Health Care Collaboration Center in the United States to leverage existing expertise for advancing the program’s purposes.
Isn’t Ozempic already mad expensive in the US compared to Denmark where it comes from?
Perhaps he thinks Ozempic actually is harvested in Greenland? :-D
Fresh off the ozempic fields.
Deny. Defend. Depose.
There’s nothing the markets love more than uncertainty.
Great. Now that I finally got my 100$/mo med that I need.
How do I find out if my meds are made outside of the US?
I mean, if domestic pharmaceuticals raise their prices to match the foreign ones to pocket the profit… does it matter?
My problem is finding my medications. It’d be nice to know where they come from.
