And then the supply chain is interrupted and there is no redundancy considered. This is typical when bean counters are involved with system design. Cheapest solution to enable maximum profit. Progressive neoliberal influence, we see it everywhere today.

There is no supply chain strategy Sunface Jack and certainly no systems design. What happened only makes sense if you know that Pfizer et all outsourced their development, manufacture and distribution assets, and the people working in them, 40 years ago. It’s been downhill ever since - the Valley of Death became the patent cliff…and it led to the fraud…

Or, was it break neck speed in the supply chain that helped the Covid Operation achieve an (unstated ) agenda?

Slightly off topic. How was Johnson and Johnson able to get away with putting asbestos into the baby powder for so many decades. Thinking about Supply chain on other products. Thanks again Hedley

Oh Cookie, if that were the only supply chain issue! It’s a free for all out there now. Private Equity has been buying up the contract service providers for decades and is screwing the big pharma companies because they can’t develop drugs without them. I can’t understand why people don’t pick up on the supply chain malfeasance? Any ideas?

I've no idea but with a past of working in factories and health care I understand the situation and how these things are open to abuse.
