Curtis Mayfield and Big Pharma...

Setting the mood music...

Hello Kids!

This will be my last post until next week (unless I decide to write a post from my phone)...

Have you ever considered the biggest dope dealer conglomerate in the world is Big Pharma?  In the USA, they knowingly dealt out dope in the form of opioids - which ruined lives + took souls of people we love.  Free methadone clinics are in every inner city - the purpose "to get people off the needle while dealing the same opioid" (paraphrasing - pretty close, right?).

FREE COVID SHOTS -  True story.  My friend Abby and I were at the Greely Stampede and saw signs "Free Large Lemonade if you get the COVID shot."  Consider this - some people were put into drawings to win a million dollars for getting the COVID shot.    

Why are some drugs free or get you entered into a drawing -- but a child going into anaphylactic seizure requiring an EpiPen pays upwards of $609 per two shots.  That's weird, no?

Florida State University is doing a “shot to win” where you can win all these prizes for a vaccination   Google it!

How about the fact our public prosecutors throw people in jail for non-violent marijuana convictions while we watch Big Pharma executives get filthy rich and vacation around the world - free as a bird -  off the opioids and poisons they promote (and finance a team of "scientist" in our US government to also promote).

QUICK TRIVIA...What is an EpiPen?

An auto-injectable device that delivers the drug epinephrine. It is a life-saving medication used when someone is experiencing a severe allergic reaction, known as anaphylaxis


  

Tell ya what...we'll come back to that here in a bit.

I want to introduce you to this dude in case you haven't ever heard of him.  Democrat Senator from West Virginia, Joe Manchin.  

He has a daughter.  Her name is Heather Bresch.  Heather was the first woman ever to run a Fortune 500 pharmaceutical company:


Ever heard of Mylan Pharmaceuticals?  So, she was the driving force behind EpiPens shooting upwards of $609 since two years ago!  Between 2012-2019, Heather capitalized $113,565,411 total compensation from raising the price of this very needed and necessary pharma drug for people with severe allergic reactions...life or death situations.  

WHAT EXACTLY IS AN EPIPEN?

Oh, and after that price gouging pharma hike in price, she was ranked as the #22 Most Powerful Woman for making dope ass bank off the backs of kids with allergies.  Her background is a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science.  Well, she does have an MBA now in a very magical way.  

In 2007, Heather claimed, in an interview with the Post-Gazette that she had an MBA degree from West Virginia University.   The Gazette fact checked her and the University found no records to her claim.  Subsequently, though, the University awarded her with an MBA (having only completed 26 of the required 48 credits).  Her father? - the Senator of West Virginia.  See how that works?  Didn't that Full House lady serve prison time for "advancing her daughter's collegiate career?"


Here's a little visual aide I've taken the liberty of providing just to show you Heather's Magnificent 500% markup on a lifesaving drug.

2009 - The wholesale price of two EpiPens (I guess they're sold like the picture above - in two's?) was $100.
By July 2013, the price went up to $265.
In May 2015, it was around $461.
In just ONE year, the price rose to $609 for two lifesaving EpiPens.

The value of something can be calculated: is it necessary?  Is it pretty?  Does it provide a purpose.

If the COVID vaccine is so necessary - Why is it free?  And, why are necessary drugs so expensive?

If you have time today, research this singer-song writer taken WAY too soon...

(Beginning and ending my coffee time with a little Curtis of the Mayfield)...



I guess my question remains: Why is the COVID vaccine free and two Epipens cost $609.  Leave me your best educated guess in the comments below.  I think I have the answer, but I could be wrong.

THEME

OTIS REDDING - Good
BIG PHARMA - Baaaaad

Thanks for coming with me on a little magic carpet ride (Steppenwolf sings a "Pusher" song),
