From groceries to baby formula and microchips to cold medicine for children, the supply chain issues that have arisen and grown into crises on President Biden and his administration's watch are nothing new. But worsening shortages in the supply of drugs used to treat cancers are drawing dire warnings from medical professionals and those who rely on such medical interventions to save lives.
According to the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists, shortages of critical drugs are "the worst they've been in a decade" due to "[quality control issues, selected plant closures and other manufacturing woes" that have seen oncology drugs "hit particularly hard in recent months," Axios reported Tuesday.
"People will die from this shortage, for sure," came another stark warning from the University of Alabama's Jonathan McConathy in The Wall Street Journal.
Among the medicines running critically low or being rationed are chemotherapy drug methotrexate, cisplatin, and fluorouracil. Already, Pluvicto — a life-extending drug used in cases of metastatic prostate cancer — has run out and won't be available to patients for months, Axios added. BCG, used in bladder cancer treatments, was also "being rationed or was not available for use at all."
On CNN, a leader of the End Drug Shortages Alliance called the situation "a terrible crisis" and called for the Biden administration and pharmaceutical industry to "be doing everything we can to give every single one of these patients the best chance of survival."
So, what is the Biden administration doing? According to Axios, the FDA's Chief Medical Officer Hilary Marston explained that her agency "works with manufacturers as much as it can, such as quickly approving acceptable workarounds," but that seemingly has not worked — as evidenced by the rationing and exhaustion of supplies now coming into focus.

Complicit and/or incompetent.

Many of the precursors for our drugs are made in China below the Three Gorges Dam. It always amuses me to hear Freepers talk about bombing the dam. Then you can watch any ill members of your family die. This is so the business oligarchs can stuff a little more in their pockets. Well, a lot more.
Don’t worry, we’ll get Pete Buttigieg right on the job!
Seems that's the idea.
We still have an American chemical industry don’t we?

Why?
“We still have an American chemical industry don’t we?”
And it has to ramp up. How many die?
They know about getting paid. They put my hubby on the stent bypass merrygoround… we are working hard to get him off.
One of the good things about covid was exposing the healthcare system.
By the way, the abundance of fentanyl and the shortage of other drugs is intentional. The CCP is waging total warfare. They just haven’t gotten to the kinetic aspect yet. Everything they are doing is to soften the target.
Yes, and Biden could sign an order under the NDA to avoid the situation outlined in the article. But has he? No. Just like he didn’t under the baby formula issue until it reached a crisis point that was difficult to get from out under.
You can’t build a new nation until you kill the old one off.
“..According to the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists, shortages of critical drugs are “the worst they’ve been in a decade”
Of course they are!
First, you distribute an experimental gene therapy that can cause turbo cancers.....and, other critical diseases....then, you cut off the supply of treatments!
How wonderful is that?
So sick of seeing the boatload of new drug ads....seems like every single ad is a Pharma ad, on the very limited amount of tv we watch....that will just add/exacerbate additional health issues, for the masses.
That was my first thought - explosion of recurrent & turbo cancers after the shots & now there’s a shortage of drugs to treat.
