It's weird that we're fine with such laws in light of the #FreeSpeech 1A, but refuse to do so re #BigPharma while most other countries do ban them. Do libertarians think there should be no laws re #gambling?

RT: @sunraysunray Right on. A good place to start would be banning all radio and TV advertisements for sports betting. Treat FanDuel like Marlboro.

@ABScientist De patenten die Covid-vaccinkennis afschermen gaan ten koste van de volksgezondheid, ter bescherming van het verdienmodel van BigPharma.
Deze kennis had tijdens de pandemie in het publieke domein gebracht moeten worden, dan kon je nu iedereen die wil tegen productiekosten vaccineren.
Missouri families are paying a heavy toll for outrageous drug prices

Every month, I get a sinking feeling as I walk into the pharmacy. I’m a mom of three looking after kids with complex medical needs, as well as my own, so I’m a familiar face there. I hold my breath as the medicines are rung up, because I never know what price I’ll be paying […]

Purtroppo l'industria farmaceutica fa da padrone nelle nuove pandemie: non si scoprono molti antibiotici mentre i nuovi peptidi che simulano il glucagone (GLP-1) hanno fatto il botto. Il glucagone, un ormone snobbato perché non se ne era ben capito il meccanismo, è alla base della svolta terapeutica per il diabete mellito. In seguito principalmente per l'obesità e per i vantaggi cardiologici. E così, dopo una grande gioia per i pazienti cronici, ci ritroviamo in un mondo in cui si segnano farmaci assai costosi per "anoressizzare" gli obesi invece di agire alla base psicologica del problema. Ho visto tanti pazienti chiedere una puntura "facile" da 300 euro al mese, al posto di fare una dieta ed attività fisica.
Die #Bigpharma-Klage wurde abgewiesen. In drei Jahren wirds also ernst:
>"Die Wirkstoffbelastung der Abwässer entsteht [...] infolge der Nutzung der Arzneimittel durch die Patienten und der anschließenden Ausscheidung in die Toilette und somit in das Abwasser."
>"KARL sieht eine vierte Klärstufe zur Entfernung von Mikroschadstoffen [...] vor. Die Pharma- und Kosmetikhersteller sollen sich [...] zu mindestens 80 Prozent an den [...] neuen Klärstufen beteiligen."
