I am a Texas Pharmacist now retired post two years. I know exactly what “OFF LICENSE” prescribing is. Many drugs have approved indications when they were first licensed. The drug companies spent much money on the research and licensing of these drugs. Once the patent has expired it becomes generic and is of little value to the original innovator.

Thus is the great imputes for “new drugs” to combat this corona virus when perhaps we have drugs today that can.

As a pharmacist I have great respect for those in research in our great pharmaceutical companies. They have alleviated much suffering in the world and to be admired. They have saved untold millions of lives.

What worry’s me is do the governing heads of those great companies share the same vision as their most excellent researchers, docs, chemists, research pharmacists and even Mr. Sam or be his name Jose. I would rather trust the wisdom of Sam and Jose.

ps
I am educated in the extreme. I trust Sam and Jose. I do not trust the head of Microsoft Mr. Bill Gates.

Last June, the idiots at the Texas Pharmacy Board started requiring the use of Special pads with a RED Rx where the white Rx is located when prescribing Schedule 5 narcotics. My oncologist at MD Anderson said he would not purchase those pads because they are very expensive and the VA was the only pharmacy where he could prescribe Adderall through a secure portal.

Thankfully, I had gotten to know the head of the VA pharmacy at the Houston VA. She hooked me up with a psychiatrist in the Mental Health Clinic. I met with him once and when it’s time for a refill, I just send him a secure message through the MyHealthyvet portal and get the refill in 1-2 days.

Dittoes: “I do not trust the head of Microsoft Mr. Bill Gates.”

Thanks for your service as a pharmacist.

I would not trust most CEO’s of pharm companies today. Also there are Pharmacy Directors and some pharm d’s I don’t trust.

Do a check on my posts re Gates.

He is a very scary man without any morality.

If President Trump is not reelected, Gates will make $oreA$$ look like a good guy.

When one has the wealth and age of Soros the only aphrodisiac left is power. Gates does not have the age of Soros but most definitely has the lust for power.

I don’t get stressed; I cause it others when they are being stupid.

Ransom note. I communicated with Dr.Izette Lozano on Friday, May 22nd. She said that it is not true. She still cannot get HCQ at a pharmacy in Texas for CoVid-19 patients.
