"Tornado damages Pfizer plant in North Carolina, will "likely lead to long-term shortages" of medicine" "The plant produces anesthesia and other drugs as well as nearly 25% of all sterile injectable medications used in U.S. hospitals" https://www.cbsnews.com/news/tornado-pfizer-plant-north-carolina-damage-long-term-medicine-shortages/

Joy

Fuck Big Pharma for bottlenecking and consolidating and fuck the political class for letting them merge to become a security risk for the United States

$$$$One Quintillion in "R&D" siphoned out of entire multiple generations of US population..

And not one scientist told them not to put all eggs in one basket?

Amazing, capitalism breeds so much innovation wow

@ai6yr the phrase "single point of failure" gets tossed around a lot these days...

@ai6yr it seems like more distributed manufacturing would be a good idea. And maybe some reserve capacity. Not profitable on a quarterly basis though.

@douglasvb @ai6yr Extreme weather building codes and standards, too.

@douglasvb @ai6yr crazy how many people need to die and suffer in order for rich people to maximize their wealth.

And higher healthcare costs passed on to the consumer.
Of course.

@ai6yr @lisamelton

25% in a single plant really seems like a critical flaw in logistics; but capitalism.

@ai6yr North Carolina must be one shit hole state as they don’t seem to has an inkling of how to enforce necessary building codes. Now I’m sure they want the government to bail out their loss.

@ai6yr yeah sure

anubis2814,

@ai6yr You can have efficiency or you have have robust redundancy. When something is vital is should be the latter

ai6yr,

@anubis2814 We're increasingly moving into an environment where robust redundancy is much more important than efficiency.

B_Whitewind,

@ai6yr if course it did. sighs
