Hi Hedley,in addition to the story of Tagamet and Zantac I seem to recall a certain Professor Thomas Barody who got rid of peptic ulcers by eradicating Helicobactor pylori with Ivermectin. Big Pharma must truly hate Ivermectin

Thank you for clarification. Big pharma hemeraged profits because they lost patents. Giving their manufacturing of goods to other entities was the worst decision, poor manufacture practices. Their new bid to regain the market was the ill concived mrna shots. That was pushed by government mandates and fearmongering though. If i understand correctly. Now more ppl realize the damage done, what tactics will they try now? Scary stuff.

Dee - you have made my heart sing!!! To hear you refer to loss of manufacturing facilities and skills, and mrna jabs being the bid to regain massive profits based on patents - that's a near on perfect explanation :O)

thanks so much for this; I remember a friend was an anesthesiologist, and he commented they could not get a drug called metaraminol, made by MSD: MSD was suddenly "no longer making it" and MSD said they had "lost the ability" to make it, as it was a number of years since the last batch was produced; all a bit bewildering he said; my mother could make scones from a recipe book, and it seemed like MSD would have had recipes; but I think your insights illuminate what was going on; seems very similar to Boeing; evolving out of engineering excellence; into maximising profits for management and shareholders

Thanks James, glad it helped, and yes Boeing did a similar thing. You probably remember the Dreamliner debacle where they outsourced design of the components and they didn’t fit together properly…plus huge delay and overspend. It don’t think the other manufacturers followed suit like Pharma though?

They did try to bury it , I think it took 10 years for Professor Borody to get the medical fraternity to listen
