How Big Pharma Shapes Social Media and Writing Platforms Like NewsBreak in the US

However, there is hope as dedicated politicians, scientists, and clinicians work together to address this pressing issue worldwide. Recently, I published a critical public health story that opened our eyes to the deeply entrenched challenges within the U.S. healthcare system. I knew the situation was bad, but I did not realize the extent of the corruption — acknowledged even by prominent figures…

2023 BBC Chinese: Medical Corruption: Chinese Doctors and Drug Rep Confront Anti-Corruption Storm: How the PRC Healthcare System Must be Reformed

This report from the BBC Chinese language service discusses corruption in the Chinese healthcare system. Part of the problem is corruption; part of the problem is the traditionally low fees that are charged for physician and nursing services. Hospitals and clinics need to make up the money somewhere and high drug prices and apparently unnecessary medical services (Chinese get far more injections…

The Connecticut Law Tribune and Wikipedia claimed that the book was based on a real-life Pfizer Trovan case that took place in Kano, Nigeria in 1996 although the author denied that his book and the case were drawn from the same case.

In 1996, amid a meningitis outbreak in Northern Nigeria, Pfizer conducted a clinical trial for Trovan, their experimental antibiotic that had never been tested on humans. Tragically, this trial resulted in 11 deaths and permanent disabilities in the participating children. Pfizer had planned to sell Trovan in the US and Europe after the trials on African children. However, its licence was withdrawn in US and Europe because of concern over liver toxicity.

What do Pfizer's 1996 drug trials in Nigeria teach us about vaccine hesitancy?

I am an incredibly privileged individual with very good insurance and I am about to have to pay nearly $400 for a specific 14-day antibiotic that will treat one of the GI issues I have because the pharmaceutical patenting situation in the United States is absolutely out of control. Like, without insurance, this medication is over $2000 and there is no generic and apparently likely won’t be until 2029. I believe I should actually be paying more but this prescription shoves me over the out-of-pocket limit of my plan for the year.

Like, I can afford this because it’s a one-time thing and it’s apparently the best treatment for one of the conditions I have. But, holy cow, how do people in general afford this? (I’m assuming they just…don’t?)

[thesiltverses]

so in season three Faulkner mentions that the parish helped him get on T but how do they get it? do they have doctor who’s part of the parish that can get it? or do they just steal it? does the trawler-man provide magical river hrt?

It was too much irrelevant exposition to include in that scene, but what I put in the original script notes for my own satisfaction was that Mason had probably set up an ongoing arrangement years ago to provide medical supplies to young converts and returning disciples in the seminary, whether through raids on pharmacies or pharmaceutical deliveries, or a backroom deal with some corrupt staff in a rural hospital.

It makes strategic sense, right? You're trying to re-establish an illegal faith which has been driven to the point of extinction, much of the older generation wiped out...so you bring in the new generation and ensure their reliance on you by making sure you can get them the vital care that they can't afford or access via legal means.

On the other hand, I know some folks have found enjoyment in the idea that there is some kind of magical testosterone crab-gumbo being brewed up in the caves of the Parish...so I'm not going to rule that out entirely. Maybe there is.

What makes White Collar hold up so much better than other police procedurals:

It was part of the "pretty happy shows with gorgeous ensemble casts and a charismatic weird guy" USA network era but it somehow used that to be about stuff that is so REAL

What is justice? Is our system fair? Can you be a criminal and still be a good man? Can you be a good man and still work for the system?

The bad guys are rich assholes, and people defrauding families out of their homes, and unethical pharmaceutical companies. People manipulating energy supply out of greed resulting in blackouts which are showing *harming a dog,* aka how to show something is monstrous in a pg show written by a white person. Class exists in this universe in more ways than having a cardboard concept of a "rich guy."

The bad guys include police, FBI agents, prison staff, judges, senators. Those people cause real harm, obstruct justice, plant evidence, kill people. It's shown how the system protects them and harms regular people.

The harm that causes the main character to go from wanting to be part of the system, to subverting and working against it, is him finding out about an act of police corruption, brutality, and murder--and what's more, that if he became a cop, that's what he could become.

The harm that causes the main character to be outside the white picket fence is that the system failed his family after that act. What happened to Neal's mom? Why did nobody besides Helen step in? They had to check in with US Marshals, did nobody notice this kid didn't have an adult fit to parent?

So Neal turns to found family. And let's be real, heavily polyamory coded found family at that. But he keeps chasing the idea of a girl who will be everything. But he's got all this attachment trauma so he never does. But because found family is real family, even the people who freaking played the characters are still connected a decade later

Making my case for ManoSouta, Ace Attorney’s token doomed yaoi

Bronco knew, and still he told nobody.

Ace Attorney Investigations 2 full game spoilers ahead!

Chalk it up to lucky guesswork or my expertly honed writer’s intuition (sarcasm), but so rarely do I latch onto side ships that when I found myself gravitating towards Bronco (Manosuke Naito) x Simeon (Souta Sarushiro, hence ManoSouta) simply because of this line, I knew something was up…

…and boy was I right.

Simeon Saint’s fall from grace was a direct consequence of subjection to a corrupt justice system and equally as corrupted individuals. There was his father, who saw Simeon’s existence as a means to an end (the end being a pharmaceutical “recipe” book that could cure Gusto’s affliction and a shiny world class confectioner title), his best friend, who kidnapped him and almost killed him on his dad’s orders, and—if that wasn’t enough to destroy someone’s psyche—there was the presidential assassination trio, who tormented, interrogated, and dangled their judicial and executive power over him like a special-brand curse.

This is a character who hit rock bottom so long ago he believes nothing is left of him except agony, paranoia, and anger. He crafts an intricate revenge plot that dishes Simeon-esque justice to everyone who wronged him. The acts are performed mercilessly, too, no hesitation, regret, or unnecessary feelings involved in the flawless execution of his plan.

Well, almost.

There was one person in the same boat—no family, no longstanding companionship (barring each other)—who set Simeon’s descent in motion. Ironically, it is also through this person that we’re shown what remains of his humanity.

For me to talk about Simeon’s feelings as shown before we found out he was the mastermind, though, we have to see how he reacted after the big reveal. Upon being fingered as the villain, Simeon makes it clear he does not feel remorse towards any of the people “he” killed. After all, they drew first blood; Simeon firmly believes retaliation was warranted.

That is, until Miles clarifies the following points surrounding Simeon’s kidnapping, his memory loss, and the fate of his and Bronco’s fathers:

The reason Simeon was kidnapped wasn’t so Bronco’s dad could kill Simeon’s; Bronco was only meant to stall Simeon so he couldn’t help his dad win the confectionary competition finale

When a murder did occur, the victim of the murder was not Simeon’s dad, but Bronco’s.

This is how Simeon responds:

“He deserved to die!…Didn’t he?”

This line, in conjunction with the contemplative flashback shown in the video, conveys Simeon’s uncertainty/regret about inciting Knight’s murder, though one could argue this is only in reaction to the revelation rather than a lingering attachment to Knight, who he “stopped thinking” was his friend 18 years ago.

But then he follows it up with this.

“Then what was all this…for…!?”

At this point, you have to ask yourself why Simeon is questioning his entire plan (keyword in the quote is all, not just Bronco’s death) because he realized whose father actually died. Technically speaking, Bronco did still kidnap him. On top of that, everyone else Simeon exacted revenge on still wronged him, so it makes no sense to say this unless Bronco’s supposed role in “Simeon’s” father’s death was pivotal in Simeon’s decision to proceed with his whole plot. In other words, the reason Simeon questions his plot after Miles’ clarification is because this fundamental misunderstanding was what pushed him to take revenge on everyone in the first place. Bronco’s betrayal weighed so heavily on him that Simeon had no choice but to kill him in line with his principles, but he didn’t actually want to.

I’m not saying he wanted to spare Bronco because of the power of friendship or some misplaced sentimentality. It was inevitable that Bronco would die by Simeon’s hand because Simeon vowed to get his revenge on everyone who hurt him. What I am saying is that Simeon’s resolve is clearly shaken once Bronco’s role in his suffering is cleared up. As soon as Simeon realized Bronco’s dad didn’t murder his dad, he regretted killing his only friend. This is the only time Simeon shows remorse.

You might think Simeon’s hatred for Bronco stems from his kidnapping and its consequences, aka setting off the chain of events that would ruin Simeon’s life outside of “his” dad dying. However, Simeon doesn’t hold a grudge over Bronco for anything other than the kidnapping. The statement, “If you hadn’t detained me 18 years ago…it wouldn’t have had to…end like this” is vastly different from “If you hadn’t detained me 18 years ago, none of this would have happened.” His “hatred” for Bronco was a personal grudge he had against his best friend, who also happened to be the son of his dad’s killer. Bronco was on Simeon’s list because his betrayal stung Simeon most. “What was all of this for” really meant, “I wouldn’t have gone through with any of this if I knew you weren’t involved.”

Had Simeon truly hated him, it’d be difficult to justify why he snuck away from his carnival preparations to talk to Bronco. Why did he pay such an incriminating visit when he’d already delivered Bronco’s chess set during visiting hours? And why did he tell Bronco he snuck something into it, leaving him vulnerable to counterattack should Bronco tattle?

Why did he bother saying goodbye?

Simeon’s actions betray logic because try as he might to hate Bronco with all his heart, he cared. Bronco Knight’s betrayal was the straw that broke the camel’s back, but imagine if the misunderstanding had been sorted from the start. Simeon's reaction to wrongfully killing Bronco was a stellar portrayal of his desire for genuine companionship, and a peek into what remained of his humanity before he was unmasked. He really was all alone.

If you’re still not sold on them being the doomed yaoi representatives of Ace Attorney, if a misplaced desire for revenge cutting their time short doesn’t make this tragic enough, then consider this: Bronco legitimately cared for and trusted Simeon, but unlike Simeon, he was left completely in the dark.

He’s legitimately excited to see Simeon’s performance. He happily awaited Simeon’s chess correspondences because he just likes being around him!!

Perhaps the biggest sticking point in all of this is that Simeon admitted he put something in his chess set, Bronco definitely opened his chess set, and yet when it came time for Fifi Laguarde to interrogate him (aka when she discovers the chisel), Bronco does not tell her he doesn’t own it, he does not tell her he’s been set up, and he does not tell her his best friend—who the precinct knows visited him—is the one who put it there. Why didn’t Bronco tell her?

That’s the greatest pull of their dynamic: we don’t know. Maybe everything happened too fast. Maybe he did try to protest. Maybe he ratted Simeon out but Laguarde was already in hysterics. Maybe Bronco didn’t understand why the chisel frenzied the warden so, and paid the ultimate price for it.

Or maybe, just maybe, Bronco already knew the moment he saw the chisel. Maybe he died a knowing victim of Simeon’s retribution. Maybe he thought it better that the knowledge of their past—Paul Halique’s ring and Simeon’s secret hatred— dissolve with his last breath.

Worse yet, maybe he couldn’t believe Simeon would do something like this. Maybe he continued to have blind faith in him despite the damning evidence. Maybe he believed in him.

The top five CEOs of major pharmaceutical companies appear to be in ‘panic mode’ and have reportedly convened an emergency meeting following Donald Trump’s historic election win.

Following Trump’s election victory, RFK Jr warned that entire departments of the Food and Drug Administration would “have to go”.

Jamel Holley, a New Jersey assemblyman and advisor to Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. said: “Sources tell me top five CEOs of pharmaceutical companies are holding an emergency teleconference at 1 PM. A lawyer has confirmed that everyone is in a state of panic!”

InfoWars reports: Additionally, Holley noted that major pharma stocks are sliding due to an “increasing threat environment” thought to be represented by Kennedy’s role in reforming public health agencies during the next Trump administration.

Kennedy said Wednesday he aims to drastically cut “entire departments” in the Food and Drug Administration, which regulates products related to public health and safety in the U.S.

“The nutrition department of the FDA has to go. They’re not doing their job. They’re not protecting our kids. Why do we have Froot Loops in this country that have 18 or 19 ingredients, and you go to Canada and it’s got two or three?” he asked MSNBC.

Another list of Biolabs in Ukraine.

List of Kiev, Ukraine's MASSIVE pharmaceutical companies that have worldwide reach.

Make no mistake.

These are Biolabs who's existence have been burned into & normalized in the consciousness of humanity.

German Pharmaceutical giant Bayer, formed from the very ashes of IG Farben after Germany's Nuremberg trials, had recently bought Monsanto, & Barack Obama teamed up with various corrupt US politicians to push Monsanto CEOs to the board of FDA & USDA.

The poison these demons have inflicted physically, emotionally & spiritually to OUR planet's people, must be avenged.

We are DONE watching OUR PEOPLE suffer at the hands of these monsters.

Unfathomably BIBLICAL times.

It's time for, "LAW ϕ ORDER" to take place. Down with the petrolium based poisonous Rockefeller pills & onto using GOD'S laws of creation, to FINALLY be used for GOOD once again & heal people!
