I appreciate @garyeconomics for so eloquently describing what is wrong with our current oligarch dominated capitalist system. It is the oldest trick in the book for those in power to turn people against each other. youtube.com/shorts/w61mOvM…

I know I’m an outlier amongst pharmacists, but I’m still not really sure that I believe in “high-risk medicines”….. It’s such a unidirectional & univariate view of risk, that has the wrong central focus (i.e. medicines not people)

If you survey pharmacists on whether they readily provide supplies like syringes, "it’s easy for a person to say yes or no,” lead study author tells Sydney Sauer. “When you go in person and do a secret shopper audit… you’re getting the true measurement.” filtermag.org/secret-shopper…

Last year we showed how more than 60% of the donations accepted by Streeting were from those with links to private health. He has since bagged a further £58,000 from private health care interests. goodlawproject.org/health-secreta…
