    Because our own people have turned against the public in favor of our sworn adversaries, all for profiit. That's at the heart of it.

    Because we don't make any of the medications in the u.s nor do we produce the chemicals to make the meds it's not rocket science

    Monopolies for drugs and formula should be outlawed.

    Shortages help ensure maximum profitability for politicians and Wall Street with their public/private partnerships.

    Supply chain disruptions? 2024? Is Europe having these shortages, too?

    Perhaps most of these drugs are currently produced in China, and perhaps shortages are one way to boost the price (price gouging).
