Don't Epi-pens degrade into adrenochrome after a year?
Isn't that why that guy jacked the price? That, and Manchin's daughter and wife got them into every school in America.

Among the documents is an email sent on behalf of Bresch, who is the daughter of Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., to her counterpart at Pfizer, then-CEO Ian Read. In the email, sent in January 2011, Bresch confirms a previous discussion with Read in which she says that the two agreed that as part of a deal, Pfizer would disinvest from its EpiPen competitor, Adrenaclick. Eliminating its main competitor would then allow Mylan to continue raising its prices.

The FDA-approved label warns that if the liquid in the pen is discolored, it should be discarded: "Epinephrine solution deteriorates rapidly on exposure to air or light, turning pink from oxidation to adrenochrome and brown from the formation of melanin."

Kinda odd to me how Bourla became CEO of Pfizer.
Not sure how to take Ian Read stepping down. Almost like they were getting Read to play hardball. They had some layoffs at about the same time.

CONFLICT: Reuters Chairman is Pfizer Investor and Board Member.
The chairman and former Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Reuters news agency - James C. Smith - is a top investor and board member for pharmaceuticals gIant Pfizer. He was elected to the board in 2014, as well as joining Pfizer's Corporate Governance and Science and Technology Committees. The news raises serious conflict of interest concerns as corporate media outlets such as Reuters continue to promote Pfizer products, defend pharmaceuticals companies from criticism, and move to silence skeptics.
Smith is currently the Chairman of the Thomson Reuters Foundation, the London-based charity known for providing news and information to billions of Readers. He was also the President, Chief Executive Officer, and on the Board of Director of Reuters from 2012 until his retirement in 2020.
He has worked with the organization since 1987, when they were known as the Thomson Newspaper group. He has also served as the CEO of the professional division, overseeing legal, tax and accounting, and intellectual property and science businesses. Later, he went on to lead the North America operations for the news organization.
In an official statement at the time, Ian Read, Pfizer's chairman and CEO said: "We are pleased to have Jim Smith join Pfizer's Board of Directors. He brings leadership and operational and international business experience to Pfizer's Board, and will be an excellent asset to the company. The addition of Jim to our Board helps ensure that Pfizer will continue to benefit from a bReadth and variety of experience."
In the last year alone, Reuters has published more than 22,000 articles mentioning Pfizer. The company has only published 8,191 articles related to Moderna, and 18,000 related to Johnson & Johnson. Many of the articles about Johnson & Johnson were negative in sentiment, unlike their Pfizer reporting.
Smith is also linked to the World Economic Forum (WEF), where he serves on the board of Partnering Against Corruption Initiative. He's also a member of WEF's International Business Advisory Boards of British American Business and the Atlantic Council.
According to the Wall Street Journal, Smith also holds the position of President & CEO of Refinitiv Transaction Services, Ltd, who boasted $6.25 billion in revenue with more than 40,000 customers and 400,000 end users across 190 countries. Refinitiv was a member of the Thomson Reuters Group until 2018.

7 Pharma Execs Testified Before The Senate On Drug Prices. Here's How Many Millions They Make A Year
Five of the seven pharmaceutical companies who sent executives to testify on drug pricing before the Senate Finance Committee Tuesday have the top-25 highest paid pharma CEOs for companies in the S&P 500.
CEOs from AbbVie, AstraZeneca, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Merck, Pfizer and Sanofi plus Johnson & Johnson's executive vice president of pharmaceuticals, Jennifer Taubert, were grilled by Senate Finance Chair Chuck Grassley and other lawmakers at the hearing.
Altogether, the top-25 CEOs whose companies were represented Tuesday received a combined $116,671,792 in compensation, including stock and stock options, in 2017, according to analysis by The Wall Street Journal. That number includes annual compensation for former Pfizer CEO Ian Read, who ceded the position to new CEO Albert Bourla in January. Bourla testified before the committee Tuesday.
Johnson & Johnson CEO Alex Gorsky rakes in the most out of the CEOs, with yearly compensation valued at $29,802,564, according to The WSJ. Taubert, who repped Johnson & Johnson and its pharmaceutical arm Janssen at Tuesday's hearing, has no annual compensation data available according to Bloomberg. (RELATED: Grassley Reminds Pharma CEOs How Much Drug List Prices Matter During Hearing)
The runner-up is former Pfizer CEO Ian Read, who had yearly compensation of more than $27 million. He had agreed to delay implementing proposed prescription drug price increases after speaking with President Donald Trump in July. Trump told the company it should be "ashamed" of its price increases in a July 9 tweet.
The CEOs of Abbvie and Bristol-Myers Squibb round out the top 10 highest-paid executives on The WSJ's list. AbbVie CEO Richard Gonzalez made more than $22 million in 2017, and Bristol-Myers Squibb CEO Giovanni Caforio made more than $18 million in 2017.

Q Research General #4653: Democrats Running On Fumes Edition
Pfizer's profits soar as Trump fights to lower drug prices
Profit soared at Pfizer in the third quarter, a sign President Trump's crusade against high drug prices has yet to significantly affect the world's largest pharmaceutical company. Net income rose 45 percent to $4.1 billion, or 69 cents a share, though revenue at the New York City-based drugmaker was little changed at $13.3 billion in the three months through September. Pfizer lowered the high end of its full-year sales guidance to $53.7 billion from $55 billion, citing a slowdown in its Essential Health unit. Sales in the division, which covers sterile injectables and biosimilars, fell 4 percent, driven by a 14 percent decline in legacy products. Several of Pfizer's most popular drugs, like Viagra, recently lost exclusivity and are facing sales pressure from generic rivals.
The company is "well-positioned to develop and commercialize" new treatments, outgoing Chief Executive Officer Ian Read said, as well as maximize the opportunity of in-market products, advance key pipeline programs, and accelerate emerging-market growth. Pfizer's stock dropped 1 percent to $42.76 in pre-market trading in New York.
Trump announced earlier this month his administration would seek to tie the reimbursement for drugs covered under Medicare Part B to international prices, which are often lower than in the U.S. His predecessor, Barack Obama, also attempted to advance a Part B-related proposal that would have lowered the reimbursement amount that Medicare pays to drug companies. It was met with significant pushback from pharmaceutical companies, including Pfizer, that said the plan was flawed and "likely to have significant unintended consequences for patients facing serious and life-threatening diseases."
Read hopes the administration will rethink its proposal, which he claimed "imports price controls from abroad into the U.S." "I don't think its in the best interest of patients," he said on Pfizer's earnings call. Read previously claimed the administration would take steps this year to reform the drug rebate system, an action that could target the business model of middlemen pharmacy benefit managers. No such proposal has been made public, but it "continues to be a point of interest for the administration," Read said. "It is the most effective way the administration can lower prices for patients at the point of purchase," he told investors.
After hiking the price of several of its drugs earlier this year, Trump tweeted that Pfizer "should be ashamed," prompting the company to postpone the cost increases until the end of 2018 or the administration's drug pricing blueprint takes effect. When asked whether Pfizer intends to raise costs in January – the month that pharmaceutical companies typically institute significant price increases – Read hedged. "We will look at our pricing situation in January and take decision based on what the competitive set is and what our value proposition is in the new marketplace," he said.

Pfizer Picks New CEO
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/healthcare/trump-target-pfizer-picks-new-ceo
Ian Read, the CEO for pharmaceutical gIant Pfizer, plans to step aside at the end of this year and hand his position to Albert Bourla, the company's chief operating officer.
The change in leadership is coming at a time when the pharmaceutical industry is under scrutiny by the White House and Congress for price hikes. President Trump specifically called out Pfizer in July for raising its list prizes, saying it and other companies "must be ashamed." In response, Pfizer delayed planned price increases on dozens of products until the end of the year.
Beginning Jan. 1, 2019, Read will become executive chairman and Bourla will become CEO, according to a company statement issued Monday. Bourla has held various positions at Pfizer in his 25 years there, and Read has held his position since 2010.
Pfizer has suffered more than $23 billion in sales losses in recent years as competitors brought rival, less-expensive generics to market.
"The company has come out of the abyss it was in, and is really poised for growth," Read said in an interview with The Wall Street Journal. "Given my age, it's time for me to move on."
The company is well-known for its cholesterol drug Lipitor and its pain drug Lyrica, which will lose its exclusivity by the end of this year. The company has more than 15 other drugs that are under development, each of which is expected to gain more than $1 billion in sales.
Pfizer reported $52.5 billion in sales last year, a 1 percent decline from the previous year.

Pfizer buckles under pressure from Trump, delays drug price increases
Pfizer chief executive Ian Read said late Tuesday his company would delay increasing the prices on dozens of drug products after President Trump publicly berated the firm one day earlier.
The company, in a statement, said the price increases would effectively be postponed at least until the beginning of 2019 in order "to give the president an opportunity to work on his blueprint to strengthen the healthcare system and provide more access to patients."

Grog bans don't work but the laissez-faire is killing us
ROSS FITZGERALD - JANUARY 28, 2023
1/2
The longstanding problems resulting from high-risk drinking by a significant minority of First Nations AustralIans is now not only extremely important but very urgent. But, as debates about the current acute alcohol problems in crime-ridden Alice Springs and elsewhere in the Northern Territory make clear, it's also very complex.
People often use mood-altering drugs, including alcohol, to dull the terrible pain of childhood memories or current awful circumstances, or both.
In my case if I hadn't started drinking alcohol at 14, I probably would have suicided at 17. This is because for various reasons I felt like a garbage tip as a child.
But if I hadn't stopped drinking alcohol and using other drugs at the age of 25, I wouldn't have made 26.
Many First Nations people suffer from the awful effects of childhood trauma, including sexual and other abuse and having been removed from their families. In addition, many are trying to cope with terrible living conditions, including poor housing, health, education and community services.
What to do about the current huge problem of severe alcohol addiction and misuse among Aboriginal peoples in the Northern Territory and elsewhere in Australia?
There are three options for dealing with alcohol.
The first is an utterly laissez-faire approach, which in the past has resulted in alcohol epidemics throughout the West.
A prime example in England was the alcohol epidemic as depicted by Hogarth's powerful engravings of the infamous Gin Lane. While alcohol was ridiculously cheap and Readily available, problems due to alcohol were extremely common.
When the government increased the price of alcohol and made it less available, drinking problems became less severe.
The second is a highly restrictive approach, which has also proved to be ineffective.
This has been tried many times, including the prohibition of alcohol in the US from 1920-33.
Also, some Weekend AustralIan Readers may not know that First Nations AustralIans were prohibited from drinking alcohol for over a century. Albert Namatjira, the great Aboriginal artist, was given special permission to drink alcohol. But he was then caught between his customary law of sharing with his kith and kin and the white man's law which didn't allow him to share his alcohol. This case, and others like it, hastened the end of alcohol prohibition for Aboriginals.
The fact is that complete prohibition of alcohol has never worked. During a brief, but long overdue trip to Alice Springs, last week the Prime Minister announced limits on the sale of alcohol there. Before he and his entourage flew out, Anthony Albanese left open the option of reintroducing the prohibition of alcohol in remote areas. He also raised the possibility of a total ban on the sale of alcohol in Alice Springs. If implemented, this would be a major mistake, which would result in negative unintended consequences, including a likely increase in crime in the deeply troubled town, not a decrease.

Precious moments for life lessons
The children love visiting their daddy. JulIan Reads them stories. Gabriel shares his father's fascination with numbers. JulIan teaches them nifty tricks: the best way to peel an orange, how to open chips without losing any of the contents.
These things may sound small to most people, but they are our precious moments together. A canteen selling chips and oranges and the prison's collection of children's books are all that is on offer in the visitor's hall we share with 30-or-so prisoners and their families once or twice a week.
On March 23, we were married in Belmarsh. The prison - normally filled with tragedy and isolation - was turned on its head for a few hours to celebrate our love and commitment. Our nest in the razor wire.
The last time the media photographed JulIan was in 2019, through the scratched windows of a prison van. The UK Authorities insist that our wedding photos not be made public 'on security grounds'. In court, JulIan has not been permitted to sit with his lawyers. And despite many applications since January 21, he has not been allowed to attend his own court hearings in person.
It feels like a deliberate effort to remove JulIan from view and turn him into Prisoner X: faceless, voiceless and with no-one to bear witness to his treatment. But JulIan is not Prisoner X. He is my husband and the father of our young children. We bear witness.
Last week, news broke in Spanish media that Mike Pompeo, the director of the CIA under Donald Trump, had been summonsed by a Spanish High Court judge to testify in relation to alleged plans by the US intelligence agency to kidnap and assassinate JulIan.
I am confident history will vindicate JulIan, but time is running out.
In October, he suffered a mini stroke. There is only so much more his body can take.
We wish the AustralIan government would do more to assist JulIan in this fight for his life.
Because his treatment is at odds with democratic values. Because our children need him. But above all, because he deserves to come home.

Q Research AUSTRALIA #14 - THE ART OF WAR Edition
History repeats itself: From the New Testament to QAnon
Timothy Pettipiece - March 22, 2021
QAnon's cryptic predictions Read like something out of a Philip K. Dick novel. In the science fiction author's book, Valis, the protagonist experiences visions he interprets as revelations about alien intelligence, political scandal and secret wisdom. The book was inspired by Dick's own experiences and contains imagery drawn from early ChristIan gnostic groups - loosely organized religious and philosophical movements - that claimed to possess special knowledge about the true nature of the universe.
For the followers of QAnon, an equally gnostic vision of reality is unveiled through obscure remarks from their online oracle.
Although debated by modern scholars, the basic premise of the gnostic worldview is that reality is not what it appears. Ancient gnostics believed that the world we perceive is, in fact, a prison constructed by demonic powers to enslave the soul and that only a small spiritual elite are blessed with special knowledge - or gnosis - that enables them to unmask this deception.
A revisionist Reading of reality, in which social and political events are only understood by a chosen few, is the basis of the QAnon gospel. Yet, it is also a worldview driven by long-standing religious impulses clearly evident to historIans of early ChristIanity.
QAnon followers today
QAnon followers - predominately Donald Trump supporters and conservative ChristIans - appear to believe that the real cause of this past year's crisis was an underground religious war being waged by U.S. soldiers against legions of Illuminati demons.
They believe that these beings torture and abuse children in order to procure a highly addictive drug called adrenochrome used by liberal and Hollywood elites. Building on the Pizzagate conspiracy theory of 2016, this belief has now morphed into a more expansive "end of the world" narrative.
The QAnon story casts Trump as a kind of radical ChristIan ruler, deputized by God to wage war against the liberal infidels destroying a once great and holy nation. Followers believe that the former president's tweets were not chaotic ramblings, but in fact the words of a ChristIan oracle, the meaning of which only true believers can decipher through online message boards.
QAnon is a curious mixture of sex scandal, anti-government protest, science fiction, biblical religion and military ethos. These ingredients make for a uniquely American religion and manifest the "cult" of Trump in its most extreme form. All of this seems incredible, even amusing, except for that fact that QAnon is tearing apart families and poisoning American politics.
A look at the history
Although very much a product of the current cultural environment, QAnon also reproduces trends and dynamics from the earliest history of ChristIanity.
Biblical scholars have long understood that this work is an encoded, first century C.E. attack against Roman imperial power, yet, John's apocalypse has often been interpreted as a scriptural key to how the world will end.
The earliest ChristIan Readers of the New Testament thought that the end of times was imminent and, ever since, ChristIan groups have periodically arisen to proclaim that the hour is at hand, only to be disappointed.
Usually, such millenarIan sects appear in times of crisis and instability, and are often unpredictable. MillenarIanism is a recurring belief in religious, social or political groups about the coming fundamental transformation of society, after which "all things will be changed." In fact, the Apocalypse of John was not widely accepted into the emerging New Testament until well into the fourth century C.E. Many early ChristIan leaders thought the text encouraged extremist sectarIan impulses that the institutional church found difficult to control.
Inevitable immolation
QAnon is not so much a "church" (in a sociological sense) but a loosely connected network of online commentators. Even though it was birthed in a matrix of evangelical fundamentalism and Republican extremism, QAnonners are under no recognizable institutional framework.
They themselves might assert that their so-called "White Hats" represent an organized military force carrying out complex operations in an underground war. It is important to recognize that QAnon is more than just a "conspiracy theory" or fringe political movement: it has all the hallmarks of a new religious movement, one that manifests deeply rooted tendencies in sectarIan ChristIanities from the past.
Few religious sects successfully transition to stabilized religions. Most burn themselves out. Unfortunately, the nearly inevitable immolation that occurs often consumes more than just the believers themselves.
