Wellness is the New Big Pharma [feat Mallory DeMille] (Conspirituality podcast)

The pharmaceutical industry is filled with greedy businessmen getting innocent consumers hooked on their toxic products in order to barely keep them alive. But if you want to actually thrive, an entire array of natural supplements are just a click away.

So goes most every wellness pitch on social media. Mallory DeMille returns to break down the marketing techniques as we dive into the sordid world of supplements and peptide creation, which, in reality, is not dissimilar from pharmaceuticals. In fact, many products use the same manufacturing processes and production plants, as Derek discusses.

In the final segment, Julian revisits Bryan Johnson, the centimillionaire on a quest to live to 200, and what his recent chronic illness diagnosis says about pumping your body filled with experimental drugs.

Demolishing Anti-Vaccine Frauds in Live Debate (Steve Kirsch and Pierre Kory Exposed) (Professor Dave Explains YouTube channel)

Professor Dave says:

As part of Pangburn's Anti-RFK tour, I traveled to New York City for a live debate against prominent anti-vaxxers and douchebags supreme, Steve Kirsch and Pierre Kory. Given that they have profited off of human life, nobody in the history of my channel deserves to be exposed more, and I got to do it right to their dumb grifter faces. Aiding me in this endeavor was Dr. Dan Wilson of Debunk the Funk. Between the two of us, these jerks didn't know what hit them, so sit back and enjoy the carnage.

Trump's drug price plan: Why it may not amount to much change

"We don't completely discount the possibility that the EO could eventually lead to some one-off deals, but the order itself is so vague that it's difficult to predict the exact impact it may have," Capital Alpha's Kim Monk wrote in a note...

Zolgensma Creation Story Reveals Truths About Drug Pricing — ProPublica

Reporting Highlights

  • A Record Price: The gene therapy Zolgensma helped children born with a fatal disease, spinal muscular atrophy, grow up to run and play. But the cost was stunning: $2 million per dose.
  • Cashing In: While taxpayers and small charities funded the drug's early development, executives, venture-capital backers and a pharma giant have reaped the profits.
  • Priced Out: The drug's cost adds to the nation's ballooning bill for prescription drugs and puts Zolgensma out of reach for kids in many low- and middle-income countries.

MAHA Storms the Capitol (Conspirituality podcast episode #226)

Cleanse the soil! Purify the blood! Save the children! Make America Healthy Again!

On Sept 23, Jordan Peterson, RFK Jr., rising alt-health stars Casey and Calley Means, and many other nutrition non-experts gathered for a live streamed event they called the American Health and Nutrition Roundtable, hosted by Republican Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin.

Their subtitle, A Second Opinion, was an apt description for the alternative fact-filled diatribes that ensued. The soil has been poisoned, everyone is fat and sick, the entire medical industry is corrupted by Big Pharma, and Big Food is enacting a genocide on the American people via metabolic dysfunction. COVID skepticism and anti-vax messaging lurked just beneath the surface.

The speakers painted a terrifying picture and then presented themselves as benevolent common-sense saviors. At the climax of her speech, Casey Means, fresh from her career-boosting Tucker Carlson appearance, took a deep breath before declaring that this is all actually a spiritual crisis

Health care package included in stopgap funding bill

The health portion contains pharmaceutical benefit manager (PBM) industry reforms, extensions of Medicare telehealth flexibilities, reauthorizations of legislation to prevent pandemics and address the opioid crisis, payments to community health centers, a rollback of physician payment cuts and other policies. 

The inclusion of more than 500 pages of health provisions in a spending bill will likely infuriate some conservatives, who generally oppose omnibus legislation. But the health provisions show bipartisan agreement after significant back-and-forth between Republicans and Democrats…

Drug-resistant infections are on the rise – so why aren’t we getting any new antibiotics?

Some of those programmes exist already. In the UK, drug companies can receive a fixed annual fee for new antibiotics regardless of how much they are used. The subscription model bases payments on how valuable the drugs are to the health system.
