Some years ago were the ones who forced the drug companies to switch to it from Pseudoephedrine Hydrochloride when they decided that people were using it to make methamphetimine, and banned it from unregulated purchase.
Now admittedly the phenylepherine doesn’t work as well as pseudoephedrine... takes three or four times as much do achieve the same results, BUT IT DOES WORK. And of course they aren’t going to de-regulate pseudoephedrine so that people can get some over the counter relief for colds, hay fever flu or whatever Fauci and Gates are cooking up in their labs.
I think this mew ban is all a scam to force people to go to a doctor and get a prescription for relief from common minor maladies. I wonder if Phizer, or Maderna, or Johnson & Johnson have a new and expensive decongestant drug fixing to come out and are paying the FDA to do this for more profiteering, and to take away the ability for us peasants to treat ourselves with something cheap and easily purchased.
(Although I have also noticed that the stuff like Nyquil, Sudaphed-D etc. costs four times as much as it did a couple years ago, so they are making plenty of profit in them already.)
The goal of the Biomedical Pharmaceutical complex is to force everyone into some type of “maintenance” meds for some “PRE” disorder if not the disorder itself.
IOW, to ensure a steady income stream of blood work and six month appointments.
IOOW, the “subscription” model.
Or the Gillete razor.
