He’s not wrong about medical companies influencing patient care. He’s just wrong about who and why.
Exactly. Why would they give patients long out of patent meds that aren’t even habit forming for this? Nah, if you want to make money with medicine you gotta go the Sackler route. Every trans person I know’s HRT brand of choice is “generic please”
Not only that, but targeting the ~20% of the population that’s post-menopausal cis women with all the benefits of HRT would be a WAY bigger market than the 1-5% of the population that might be trans. If it was about making money on HRT, they’re certainly not going for a very large market.
Not only that, but wouldn’t Big Pharma™ be lobbying heavily against all the anti-trans healthcare bills? Seems like they’re doing a pretty awful job of maintaining their market.
“Anyway, want a 6 months supply of Vicodin?” -The doctors he should actually be worried about.
Why? They pay him.
Sorry, I meant should as in if he actually gave a shit about what he pretends to give a shit about as a preface to target trans people.
Okay but we all know these fuckers believe in nothing.
If you don’t get that by now, you’re determined to not.
I…I’m fully aware. Thought that was pretty obvious from my last response…
( It was. )
So gotchas about it seem kinda… I dunno, a few steps behind?
Yeah, you’ve completely lost me. What do you mean by gotchas?
