Underreported and essentially invisible within the mainstream news cycles, a critical shortage of ordinary U.S. medicine has been growing and becoming an emergency situation for many families. If rationing kicks in fully, be careful about what you post on social media. Determining allowances based on political ideology is a real concern.
In a general sense the issue is mostly an outcome of the U.S. outsourcing drug ingredient procurement and manufacture to China and India. Many companies in both of those countries have been struggling with operational interruptions as a result of COVID-19. As supplies in the U.S. rapidly dwindle, local news media outlets are now starting to pick up on the issue. WATCH:
(Via Fox Business) – The nationwide shortage of basic antibiotics and critical medications that treat chronic conditions and bacterial infections has become the latest issue to hit the medical world. Consequently, it is forcing many doctors to rely on alternative medicines to treat patients.
“What was once an unthinkable situation—a shortage of basic antibiotics such as amoxicillin and Augmentin to treat ear and skin infections or even medications such as Albuterol to treat asthma—is now a harsh reality,” New York City-based emergency room physician Dr. Robert Glatter told FOX Business.
Even the “shortage of basic medications such as children’s Tylenol—integral to treating fever and mild to moderate pain—is impacting our ability to provide care for our patients,” Glatter said.
Currently, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has a list of more than 180 current or resolved drug shortages. He said there have been shortages of antivirals such as Tamiflu, which is used to treat high-risk patients with influenza, as well as diabetic medications such as Ozempic due to the “inappropriate and off-label use” of the medication for weight loss and cosmetic purposes.
Glatter predicted that the drug shortage problem rippling throughout the U.S. could last for at least another year, if not longer.
According to federal health officials, intermittent or reduced availability of certain products can occur for many reasons, including manufacturing and quality problems, delays and discontinuations.
However, Glatter said that the problem is in part because the U.S. is currently facing challenges in obtaining raw materials. For instance, source materials for manufacturing the active pharmaceutical ingredients in the majority of drugs come from China, which is dealing with limited production and output of raw materials involved in pharmaceutical manufacturing due to rigid lockdown measures, Glatter said.
The U.S. is also dependent on India for a significant number of generic medications, but India also relies on China for the raw materials used to produce active pharmaceutical ingredients, he added. (read more)

The CCP controls the world my friends. Read Michael Pillsbury’s 100 Year Marathon to understand China’s march to take over the world.
This is America’s own death march. Who controls the CCP?
America, while a great power, has always been the greatest obstacle to global tyranny. China was developed as these globalists’ means to achieve it. They are an eternal evil.
Americans would never surrender to China, but American politicians and corporate boards gladly sell her out to globalism.
Shortages are the natural outcome of letting global corporations maximize their proftis by offshoring EVERYthing to the cheapest labor markets. They blew up the US steel industry decades ago with such delightful results, that no gropu of products is now safe.
I witnessed our destruction of our steel industry. Look for items about 1970’s Atari democrats, and their successful legislation to deindustrialize the USA. I remember their speeches in Congress about how wonderful an agrarian America was. They retired multimillionaires. You will probably have to look in European news sites, because our sites were erased for the most part.

Client kept quoting Wendell Berry during conversation. Slow, finally looked him up, ordered some of his books. This client, 1st visit, ca. 2013, a historic farm, had bumper sticker on a work truck, No Farms, No Food.
Her vegetable ‘garden designer’, did not want her to hire me, Historic Garden Designer, for the Pleasure Grounds. A year passed, and her vegetable gardener learned what my layer provided to his work. Up to 80% more vegetable production than his previous vegetable gardens designed.
Her vegetable ‘Garden Designer’ now includes what he learned at this client’s property, into all his work.
Simple concept: something local/native, coming into bloom every 2 weeks thru the year (Southern zones), pollinator habitat, Tara Turf (no mono-culture lawns with fertilizer/chemicals/watering/short mowing heights), plus the easy Garden Design templates from historic Italy with focal points placed on axis from inside the home…..starting the work of Historic Garden Design.
Historic Garden Design has a shiny new name, regenerative. My ‘little gardens’ looked down upon in the USA residential landscape community, all the decades of my career. Not nearly as much, $$$, to put on contract yearly, for maintenance. Worse, HOA’s have made it ‘legal’ what type of landscapes to have around most USA communities. They’re not regenerative.
When HOA’s begin changing their landscaping laws to ‘regenerative’ landscaping, the new templates need to be shared, to spread faster across our lands.
Historic Garden Design = Regenerative
What is it, to be one of these gardens? They are pure essence of the divine.
These gardens are knowledge, visible.
These gardens uncover life to come, unlimited springs, enriched by what is shed, what is lost. Life taking on death.
These gardens, seemingly bare bones, “illuminate what is hidden”.
The shape of the mountains is not in the trees. The shape of the trees is not in the foliage.
These gardens in their stillness harbor ‘quiet, transformation, change’.
These gardens seemingly the plainest conceived, harbor a parable. Understand the parable, their riches forever more yours.
Decades working the garden, the parable opened, we are kin.
Bill Halcott, your words, “…destruction of our steel industry.”, bring these garden thoughts forward. My entire lifetime, spent in the destruction of our private landscapes. I am not young.

Something is going on, and it ain’t good. I just spent a whole week trying to get two prescriptions filled. They used to be filled with one phone call for refills. Imbecile Biden supporters and voters, dead and alive, must be so happy with the situation.
Why is the pharmacist in the first video pretending to wear a mask?
But rest assured, the current elected officials and their appointees plus willing water carriers of the deep state/swamp will not have to initially suffer from the consequences of their own policies/directives. Only the US taxpayer who foots the bill will be short changed. Unfortunately, for those pompous autocrats in power, in their fog of delusion, they fail to understand the reality that the golden goose is not immortal and that they are in the same building when the foundation collapses.

So true! LIKE x 100!
It seems that shortages of just about anything vital can be traced back to china joe xiden and his administration of failure.
Nice going all you parasites now retired from WALL STREET TO K-STREET TO CAPITOL STREET you sold out the American Citizens for 30 pieces of silver and now what ??
In the late 70’s and on entire industries were dismantled and sent around the globe chasing cheap labor and it bit every average American in the ass for the last 40 plus years
You got your profits your yachts and private jets , politicians got their payoffs ! American citizens got trillions in debt , quadrillions in derivative debt , bankrupt retirement and social security systems decaying infrastructure due to the tax base you plundered .
You can’t find a shoe a tire or a car part made by Americans for Americans and now the pharmaceuticals many are dependent on is evaporating because THE BIG CLUB created a dependency on a foreign producer that was and always will be our potential enemy . You even made deals crippling food availability and production & processing by placing out of domestic control .
Your Gains amounts to economic treason.
Enjoy the wealth you have plundered but look around , crime out of control mass looting once the wall of what’s left of middle America is consumed the hordes will literally eat your asses over an open fire that is just history repeating itself !
You broke it now your going to pay for it !
We will survive with our very own service econony, don’s ya know vanything!!! obamas push for higher minimum wage was so service economy jobs would someday look nbetter than anything else! YOU VOTED FOR HIM.

Is medicine short in BRICS countries?
Curious minds want to know
The reasons for this are many, but the heart of the matter is that once a drug is generic, the profit margins are so thin that only 1-2 companies (often in India or Israel; used to be Puerto Rico, before some targeted tax cuts expired) bother to make them. There typically is not any shortage of a drug still on patent, because there is a huge economic incentive to make and sell them. The barriers to entry into the generic medicine manufacturing process are fairly high, so there is little or no incentive for another company to go into the generic drug manufacturing process. A Pfizer, Merck, GSK, Bristol-Myers-Squibb, Abbott, etc., have better things to do with their capital (namely, make patent medicines on which they make real money).
Ozempic, Trulicity, and Qvar to name a few
India does most of the pharma manufacturing; China provides most of the chemicals. China is a mess. We cannot get basic chemicals to manufacture here in the US from China and neither can India. Prices from China for reagents are exponentially higher than in the US where stockpiles are quickly shrinking or have disappeared. The specialty chemical giant BASF out of Germany / Netherlands etc., has disappeared for all intents. Expect more than shortages in pharmaceuticals, expect price increases of 5000% – when you can find them.
A conspiracy minded person might think this is all going to plan.
just refilled my 10 mg lipitor generic 90 more days
grilled a large steak w/red wine to accomodate it
When you start having most of your medicines/medical equipment manufactured overseas this is the end result. The Chinese own us as do the Indians.
