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.
There’s nothing the markets love more than uncertainty.
This motherfucker is literally gonna kill me by making my already unaffordable cancer meds really insanely unaffordable.
Something like almost half of generic medications are made in India.
How about going abroad for treatment?
Look, I’ve been worried about being under surveillance for my political views and personal connections since the Bush era (made friends in college with middle eastern exhange students who went back to their home country and kept in touch). Technically (not really) being part of the queer community because I date transwomen (transwomen are women, duh) further complicates the matter. Not looking to be the first white cisman US citizen to be disappeared to El Salvador, thanks.
If I manage to leave the country I better god damn have a plan to not have to come back and to get some form of political asylum elsewhere.
You sound based af dude
Well I’m glad someone out there thinks so. I am pretty self assured that I am on the right side of history, but fuck living in this country beats down your mental health, doesn’t it?
And 85% of medical isotopes come from Canada!
Something like almost half of generic medications are made in India.
Is this for cancer drugs or generics in general? Only asking because most of the generics I see in the UK are made here, but that might be because I’ve only seen the more common medications and not stuff like cancer drugs.
Hope you manage to beat the cancer!
You might not see them made in India on the label since the tablet is assembled in UK but the API (the molecule that actually does the job) and additives might be sourced elsewhere. China and India produce a lot of them. They might also sell precursors later used to make API in UK so there might be always some contribution form India / China etc.
India makes a huge amount of drugs. The UK probably just doesn’t import them.
Trump wanted to support the black market pharmaceuticals.
Like a really bad gambler, double downing every hand in blackjack.
He’s definitely got double downs syndrome

Oh good, that’s totally going to help drug prices go down, right?
Everywhere else ? Probably
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 🤹♂️
i was recently prescribed a life changing medication that has given me the opportunity to have my lifespan return to normal as it is currently reduced, and i am noticing true positive improvement for the first time living with this illness, and i feel like i can start regaining my identity, and my physical and mental wellbeing, and now the president of my country is going to make this already expensive drug even more costly? what am i supposed to do, just stop taking it? what is anyone with a worse condition than me supposed to do for their illness? what about people with severe mental disorders that might be invisible to the public but struggle deeply all the same? this will lead to unnecessary deaths. every time the medical supply is messed with, people die. this needs to be met with more than outrage. Trump is signing a death warrant on ill Americans. who are you willing to sacrifice so you don’t have to get involved? because, again, people are going to die.
He’s a Nazi. It’s actually an efficient way to get rid of all ill people that are not rich. Don’t need no concentration camps yet.
This right here is exactly what he’s up to.
And for those who aren’t rich but have jobs with decent employer-provided healthcare, it will make those people fearful of undertaking any protest actions that may see them on the wrong side of a doxxing campaign or an illegal detention.
It’s about threading fear through the fabric of society.
I take a topical for atopic dermatitis that is better tolerated than a topical corticosteroid. And it’s primarily made in India as a generic. Also because topical corticosteroids long term effects are rebound disease and skin atrophy.
As someone who was considering taking a week off work as I would have needed to attend Donald Duck style to avoid fabric-on-leg contact, tell me more about this well tolerated topical
if you havedermatitis, exzema, you can try tacrolimus, or another inhibitor like elidel(pimecrolimus). you will have to avoid sunlight for a couple hours though(it does cause itching but that goes away after continious uses)if exposed to sunlight it amplifies the ithcing, warm feeling. some people dont like the itching or the sensations, it goes way after a while.
unlike the steroid it wont cause thinning or rebound effect(aka steroid withdrawal), safe for use of the eyes. you have to ask the derm for it though.
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!
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 😩
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.
That’s good medicine wasn’t expensive enough already in this country.
This mother needs to be jailed for murder
We’re going to win the midterm elections and we’re going to have a tremendous, thundering landslide, I really believe that . . . and I really think we’re helped a lot by the tariff situation that’s going on," Trump said. "Which is a good situation, not a bad, it’s great. It’s going to be legendary, you watch. Legendary in a positive way.
You’ll all be so poor and stupid you’ll have to vote for us.
Heh. With how they’re taking over the FEC and other election regulatory bodies in red states, I am not optimistic there’ll be normal/fair elections in the near future. Not that the pre-existing gerrymandering was fair to begin with in many states, but it’s going to get worse.
Anyone who thinks there will be fair elections needs to wake the fuck up. Look at how much Trump has changed what is considered normal in just 3 months. By the time mid term elections come around none of the institutions that allow for elections to happen normally will even exist anymore. I doubt the presendential elections will happen at all, by then the economy will be so far in shambles that America will be in survival mode.
Americans need to step up now, if you wait for elections you will be too late.
Two months ago people kept telling me I was wrong for saying this that “the Judiciary is working” as if it isn’t acting as scotch tape
Everyday Americans with little power on our own are stepping up. Republicans are refusing to do town halls in their own districts because even their constituents are showing up and yelling at them. Congressional voice mailboxes are routinely full and people are writing letters and emails. Last Saturday, there were 1300+ protests with like 1,000,000 people taking to the streets. And that was just the first one. There’s a lot more people who support the protests but didn’t hear about them ahead of time or couldn’t make it (for whatever reason; work, disabilities, childcare, etc.).
The problem now isn’t with “Americans” writ large. It’s spineless leadership. And not just “leadership” in the sense of corrupt elected officials and judges. I also mean major university presidents and law firm partners that capitulated rather than fight back. Business leaders not speaking out (anonymous quotes in the Financial Times or Wall Street Journal isn’t speaking out; they’re like $400 a year and most people don’t know how to get around paywalls). Religious leaders — white evangelical Protestant ones, anyway — failing in every possible way. Retired generals (or anyone else who swore an oath to the constitution) should be livid.
Maybe now that he tanked the global economy and is fucking with rich people’s money, there will be more resistance from so-called “elites” but I’m not holding my breath waiting for them to stop being cowards and protecting their own asses. But regular people are doing what we can.
Or the voter suppression system already in place too
