For decades, American Big Pharma has been scheming to undermine Australia’s Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS), which has given Australians access to some of the cheapest medicines in the developed world. Their goal? Higher profits at the expense of affordable healthcare. They’d love to see Australia adopt a US-style privatised system, where individuals are forced to pay exorbitant prices for the same medicines we get for just a few dollars.

I've been looking into #veganism for few years now.
Have tried following too.

But I think one way to start reducing animal cruelty is by introducing and promoting veganism or anti-animal cruelty by things that are easy to shift.

Which is leather, and using animals for transportation.

As I find vegan diet to be controversial as veganism is love towards animals which is part of nature.

While our omnivorous diets are also what have been natural and going against it does show us decline in health which can be helped through supplements.

Which again is controversial when it comes to factory made and helping big pharma etc.

With all the respect @rms, but RFK jr. is FOR savety testing, NOT anti-vax. That's why he's arguing (unlike you) against #BigPharma and their corruption. Of course you won't read that in the guardian, but you could learn all about at Michel Chossudovsky's independent news outlet...

btw: Could you help me please with textile colors on this portrait? (all reference photos been bnw)

Sincerely,

@ChristosArgyrop Apropos of this, Christos, why aren't pharma stocks tanking? My premise would be that much of #BigPharma's capital is devoted to collecting economic rents off our regime of prohibitive drug regulation — specifically, the immense costs of registration trials. Why wouldn't the undermining of a stable [scientific] basis for FDA also undermine the valuations of these companies?

Federal #lobbying set new record in 2024

By Indy Scholtens
February 11, 2025

"In 2024 the #pharmaceutical, #RealEstate, security and investments, oil and gas, insurance, and #electronics industries dominated the lobbying space."

[...]

"One of the largest increases in lobby spending came from the American Fuel & Petrochem Manufacturers. The trade association ramped up its spending by almost $20 million, spending more than $10 million in the second quarter of 2024, as the EPA introduced strong regulations to reduce fossil fuel emissions. In past years, individual companies in the oil and gas industry typically outspent the trade association by millions of dollars. The increase in lobbying spending continues a shift that was previously reported by #OpenSecrets."

"Cancer is a political disease... Adopting lax regulations, letting manufacturers evaluate their own products, knowingly allowing carcinogenic substances to be spread to pander to captains of industry, betting on discovery of miracle cures rather than on prevention and hindering consumer information: all this is not inevitable, it's #politics.

Some (more) proof that Big Pharma (here the example of AstraZenica) is one of the most profitable sectors in the global economy, because they are highly adept at playing one country off against another to get them to bid 'support' to facilitate investments, then the quotes in this piece from Pascal Soriot should furnish that;

He all but admits explicitly that this is what is going on!

Just more corporate welfare dignified by the mechanism of 'competition'

Het is toch ook wel alle schaamte voorbij als je je politieke positie probeert te gebruiken om de ontwikkeling van een goedkoper, meer lichaamseigen en waarschijnlijk gezonder alternatief voor #chemotherapie tegen te houden vanwege de belangen van #BigPharma.
