History matters – a century after insulin’s discovery, we’re going backwards - Healthy Debate For the record: Big Pharma exploits people who need insulin, charging them a high price for a medicine they would and do die without. @adriandix healthydebate.ca/2022/02/topic/…

A #whistleblower raised safety concerns about OceanGate’s submersible in 2018. His report began: 'Now is the time to properly address items that may pose a safety risk to personnel.' He was fired. finance.yahoo.com/news/whistlebl…

Emerging story from Nova Scotia - and an ER with no doctor. Mayor of Middleton says firefighters had to be called to the hospital to deal with a patient with cardiac arrest. Patient died. Letter below supplied by @NSValley #Emergency @CAEP_Docs
An excellent piece. Patients are in a terrible position, but further relaxing standards helps no one. Key quote: "If the crusade for access wasn’t accompanied by a commensurately spirited campaign for answers, the chief beneficiaries would be the pharmaceutical companies."

Today at the Brazilian Cystic Fibrosis Congress a protest was held at the @VertexPharma stand. Participants are demanding that they lower their prices and enable access to #Trikafta in Brazil and around the world. The global CF community is united and demand action now 👊💊🌎
Liberals were set to implement key drug-price reforms that would have saved Canadians $3 billion in one year. Then, the health minister intervened. This week, parliament launched a probe into Duclos’ intervention. It started with a ground-breaking investigation by…

Public Pharmacare is worth fighting for. KW Council of Canadians is organizing a Townhall on Pharmacare on Tues, May 16 from 7-9 pm at @FirstWaterloo. @avilewis @Wasem78 #OnPoli #CdnPoli
Since 2015 the Liberals have been promising to lower drug costs but failed to deliver. Now officials from Canada’s drug price regulator confirm the Health Minister stopped them from lowering prices by billions. Liberals are putting Big Pharma's profits ahead of Canadians' health.

21st century Medicine is just lobbying the FDA to lower regulatory standards so you can sell some bullshit. Then you bribe doctors to prescribe it. Bribe experts to put it in the guidelines. Advertise. Then accuse critics of misinformation. No wonder public trust is gone.

🇨🇦 drug costs: the THIRD highest worldwide. Health Minister @jyduclos "denied bowing to #Pharma pressure" against reductions. He then appointed a Pharma lawyer to chair the #drug #pricing review board. Yes, that'll move things in the right direction. thelancet.com/journals/lance…
A real shame to see how Canada's ambitious drug pricing reforms were totally defanged by industry lobbying and lawsuits. Gov't seems to have crumbled in face of Pharma opposition. Heartbroken for hard working colleagues at @PMPRB_CEPMB who fought a good fight.
