True.

I am not a lawyer but as far as I know: it super isn't. It's also illegal for compounding pharmacies to make, where I live.

Imagine not having 70,000 followers. Fate worse then death.

Man, in lots of places the you can't even get the name brand so at least there's that.

I have heard, don't know how true it is, that hospital pharmacies have first shot at the supplies so they're less affected by stuff like this. For what that's worth.

It's funny because a lot of people really like Vyvanse (that is: lisdexamphetamine) better than the alternatives. It was only made because the DEA wanted fewer people to take regular amphetamines and then a bunch of people responded well to it and the DEA went "wait! Not like that!"

Anyway, it's on generic now. The only reason there's a shortage is the DEA.

(Before you say "I'm not in the US and we have a shortage, too!" the drug companies killed all their production lines because the DEA basically gave them an excuse to try to force people off Vyvanse and onto meds that were still under patent.)

Incredible video.

You can fly to a developed country and still get treatment cheaper.

Yeah, one of the meds they talk about making is Vyvanse. That's having a serious national shortage right now due to a combination of the DEA and corporate greed. It's illegal for compounding pharmacies to make it but there's no technical reason they couldn't. Same for lots of this stuff.

It's not even funding the expensive treatments, it's not charging a 1000x markup hurting their bottom line. It'd be one thing if it were genuinely expensive medicine (i would still propose a distribution method other than "capitalism") but it's not.

If these meds were available for a reasonable price i don't think we'd be seeing groups like this.

Guillotine all the CEOs and venture capitals.

I'm guessing the Starlink investors had a chat with him about a potential breach of fiduciary duty lawsuit. That's a stupid concept but Musk isn't going to win if he deep sixes Starlink for his petty vendetta.
