A new analysis has revealed the dangers of buying CVS' own-brand drugs.

FDA data shows America's largest pharmacy chain recalled 133 over-the-counter medicines over the last decade, or about one a month.

That was more than twice as many as its competitor Walgreens, which had 70 recalls over the same period, and three times more than Walmart, which had 51 recalls.

The reasons for the CVS recalls included drugs being infested with bacteria, mold growing in factory ventilators, peeling paint and barefoot workers in factories and pills containing incorrect doses.

 SNIP

Experts have been warning for some time over generic medicines, saying there are too few incentives for pharmacy chains to ensure their quality.

This is due to a loophole in FDA rules which makes CVS not responsible for the quality of generics manufactured by third-party factories, even when the products carry a red heart and the words 'CVS Health'.

SNIP

In a fourth case from 2019, FDA inspectors found that a factory in Florida making children's cough syrup for CVS was using water contaminated with a bacteria that can be deadly to youngsters with weakened immune systems.

SNIP

It comes after the US was rocked by a recall of more than 26 store-brand eye drops sold across pharmacies in the country, also including Rite Aid and Walmart.

The drops were contaminated with a bacteria linked to blindness and lethal infections that experts said was able to 'melt through' eyes.

At least four people died from sepsis after using the eyedrops, while 14 lost their vision and more than 80 infections were reported.

If I were the prosecutor, I would assume they intended to cause harm.

This story sounds like a planted story in order to create am alarm to keep generic drugs off the market.

Thank the neoCON free traitor scum like the Bush / Romney / Cheney families who want you to believe that a nation is just an “idea” or a “marketplace” and not a collection of people with common heritage, culture, language, etc. The open border free traitor neoCON scum think it’s A-Ok to have our nations drug supply manufactured in third world nations and hostile nations like China? Why not have North Korea manufacture our drug supply neoCONs? The globohomos are traitors to this country and put America last.

Sometimes that's true. I believe this story is likely true because it is a cost cutting effort the the FDA aided and abetted by loosing restrictions on generic brands.

My attitudes changed when studying the pharmas Covid 'vaccines'.

18 Reasons I Won’t Be Getting a COVID Vaccine

Published May 13, 2021

By  Christian Elliot

EXCERPTED:

Three of the four COVID vaccine makers have been sued for products they brought to market even though they knew injuries and deaths would result.

• Johnson & Johnson has lost major lawsuits in 1995, 1996, 2001, 2010, 2011, 2016, 2019 (For what it’s worth, the company’s vaccine also contains tissues from aborted fetal cells, perhaps a topic for another discussion).
• Pfizer has the distinction of the biggest criminal payout in history. The company lost so many lawsuits it’s hard to count. You can check out its rap sheet here. Maybe that’s why Pfizer is demanding that countries where they don’t have liability protection put up collateral to cover vaccine-injury lawsuits.
• AstraZeneca has similarly lost so many lawsuits it’s hard to count. Here’s one. Here’s another…you get the point. And in case you missed it, the company had its COVID vaccine suspended in at least 18 countries over concerns of blood clots, and it completely botched its meeting with the FDA with numbers from their study that didn’t match.
• Oh, and apparently Johnson & Johnson (whose vaccine was granted Emergency Use Authorization in the U.S.) and AstraZenca (whose vaccine is not approved in the U.S.), had a little mix up in their ingredients … in 15 million doses. Oops.

You may be correct. I’m adding this to my climate change list of ways to kill off people without getting in trouble.

That’s why we do need some kind of regulation.

I've been wondering, 'Why do they (FDA) hate us?' after the FDA's conduct throughout Plandemic 1.0.

Now that I'm looking at the ingredients in household cleaners (endocrine disrupters etc.) I find the 'for sale' sign hanging on the FDA everywhere I look.

The public couldn't have Ivermectin, but:

I've been reading about ingredients of hair dyes and other cosmetics. For those 'dying' consumers, they are likely to use dye products about every 6 -8 weeks. Hair dyes include some very 'hair raising' chemicals, one of which includes a substance that can interact with DNA . Applying toxic substances to your skull for 30-40 minutes every 6-8 weeks is fine with the FDA. Just DON'T USE ivermectin, which is used safely around the world and has been thoroughly tested for many years on the public.

A foreign man kept being compared to a movie star, except for the color of his hair. I used google translate to answer his questions about hair dyes. I discovered that men's dyes 'process hair' much faster and can be applied at home. I asked a hair stylist why men's dyes can get the same results as women's dyes but they are simpler to apply without training and don't require a salon visit, treated like shampoo every few weeks. I assume men shower it off and the dye likely runs down the body when washing it out.

The hair stylist's eyes widen and said, "You have NO idea how toxic men's dyes are. All those heavy metals etc. Who'd WANT to put that on their hair!

Good ol' FDA!

Such recalls are a major reason insurance companies should not be permitted to penalize those on their plans by either only approving generic medicines are charging substantially higher co-pays.

This is why vertical integration in the pharma industry needs to be overseen. If I manufacture a drug, and then say only this drug is on my formulary for group health plans, and then say that only my retail locations are in network, bad things are going to happen. That is what CVS is doing right now. So far, they’re saving our plan money but at what non-monetary cost?

[MS.BEHAVIN]

Good Lord!
I was just thinking about coloring my hair now that it has turned silver.
It doesn’t have any brassiness, but it just made me feel old!
I think that I will tell anyone who asks, that I am a platinum blonde!
Thanks for the heads up, and for the hat tip!
Be well, Mother of Dragons!

I never could understand why people died their hair. Medicines are effective when given transdermally. Why would harsh chemicals be exempt from “getting through” to a person’s brain? Seems scary.

#12 I have noticed that my hair which was turning more gray has gone back to the sandy color when I started taking Magnesium Oxide by Nature Made 250mg every day.
66 years old now and still looking marvelous 😁

[MS.BEHAVIN]

My workplace pretty much FORCED me to take them.
We were told if we did not, we could no longer work there.
Neither one of us could carry this place alone.
I HAD to!

I won’t go through all the details, unless somebody would like to add it to their studies.

Anyone who would like to know more details are invited to Freepmail me.

Suffice it to say that shortly after that, I began to lose my sense of taste (everything tasted the same, no matter what was put in front of me.)

Since my 2 shots in 2021, my sense of taste is JUST NOW starting to come back.

I truly hate them!

[MS.BEHAVIN]

Really?
I’ll try that!
Thanks for the tip!

I will be 69 on the 30th.
Over the hill and picking up speed!

I googled: Magnesium Oxide gets rid of gray hair
https://tinyurl.com/ycyyvx6u
Look up the plus and minus. You may need B12 or another Magnesium. I noticed the grey overall disappearing. Just a little bit of gray left at the temples.

I started using Magnesium Oxide hoping it would help with numbness from a Sciatica nerve issue. It did not but stretching exercises do.

There is a list of the different Magnesium:

“I googled: Magnesium Oxide gets rid of gray hair”

It certainly doesn’t for me. I’ve been taking it for at least 20 years
And was gray as could be — that is, up until 4 years ago when I started taking quercetin for Covid. Now, am back to maybe 50% color again.

[steve86]

So little MG is absorbed from the oxide form it is hardly worth taking unless you are constipated! The other forms — I also take glycinate occasionally — are absorbed much better.

[minnesota_bound]

I know of this and bought Jan 2022. I think it was for the scamdemic.
