Take notes. HIV. Can drive any pharmacist to hit the books. Big Pharma makes these things, they can keep market demand by making supply tight. HIV drugs are made in China. It’s now all up for grabs. Instability. Pharmacies close. American Medicine is a complete failure. Capitalism kills a lot of human beings. Once, the drugs disappeared. Access denied. People had to drive to Canada. The system is rotten to the core. I was teaching adolescent boys who all had HIV and pharmacology was itself an affliction. Antiretrovirals are a miracle to behold. But this is HIV. The concomitant side-line illnesses like major herpes outbreaks, shingles, or eye infections, or Pneumocystis Pneumonia bedevils everyone. Sustiva was a drug where the trip was LSD on steroids. The ARVs themselves are toxic. It takes time before ARVs begin to work. Abacavir is a cocktail with a caveat where if you stop taking it, and then you start up again, the Abacavir can kill you. Heart disease, fungal infections, acid reflux, bone loss, teeth and gum diseases, adolescent anxiety based on Am I Going to Live. Without a pharmacy, you will die. HIV and AIDS did not end. The media is indifferent, and they have created a false narrative that says we can all relax. But No. School rules say only a school nurse can dish out the drugs. Can you imagine the scenario of the nurse stepping into your class to give you your HIV drugs. Humiliation. The pharmacy keeps you alive. It closes. Then what. Big Pharma is Big Torment.
