When these #fascists/#eugenicists get ill, they should be deprived of the #medicines that have been developed because of the #scientific research that they are so committed to eviscerating.

"In the years since Deacon’s efforts helped to pressure the #Government into legalising #medical #cannabis in the #UK, only a handful of others have been able to enjoy the same access as Alfie. According to the #NHS Business Service Authority, a total of 89,239 #prescriptions for unlicensed cannabis #medicines were issued between November 2018 & July 2022, but fewer than 5 of these prescriptions were issued by the NHS. The rest have had to go #private."

So! I was ignoring the phrase 'blister packs' because I was thinking of the sheets you get in any medication box.
No, apparently.
(Canadian, at least) pharmacies refer to "personalised pill packs" as blister packs.
*That's* what I was missing.

Who needs #BioLabs when there's all sorts of #bacteria about to be exposed after thousands of years!

Researchers issue warning after making grim #Antarctic discovery: 'We are only beginning to understand'

Story by Daysia Tolentino, January 29, 2026

Excerpt: "A study published in the journal #Biocontaminant examined the effects of #GlacialMelting on our #WaterSupply.

"#Glaciers serve as reservoirs for #AntibioticResistanceGenes, or #ARGs, and other #microbes. When they are released from the ice, they enter our water systems, posing a major health risk to people downstream.

"Millions of people get their water from glacier-fed rivers and lakes. ARGs are strands of DNA that make bacteria more resistant to drugs. When ARGs in #meltwater make their way into our water supply, they become a global public health risk.

"The study emphasizes the importance of viewing glaciers, rivers, and lakes as being part of a 'glacier continuum.' This means they are an interconnected system rather than separate environments.

Why are melting glaciers concerning?

"From our gas-powered cars to #overconsumption, human activity has contributed to the production of heat-trapping gases that warm the planet. Rising global temperatures have caused glaciers to rapidly melt, causing elevated sea levels and releasing ARGs.

"ARGs from melting glaciers are worrisome because they help facilitate the spread of diseases. This threat is compounded by the fact that our growing #microplastic problem is also helping #AntibioticResistant #bacteria breed. As a result, #medicines are being rendered less effective."

In his remarks, #Trump again repeated his mathematically impossible claim that he has cut #drug #prices by 600%. A 100% price cut would lower the cost to $0. In reality, pharmaceutical companies, even the ones that have publicly cut deals with Trump, are still RAISING PRICES on #prescription #drugs for Americans, including #medicines to #treat cancer, #HeartFailure & Type 2 #diabetes.

His lies are too numerous, I’m done with this nonsense.

Plant discovery could lead to new ways of producing #medicines

The study focused on a #plant called Flueggea suffruticosa, which produces a particularly powerful #alkaloid known as securinine. While investigating how this chemical is made, scientists discovered that the process is driven by a gene that looks more like it comes from #bacteria than from a plant.
