Something tells me pharmaceutical lobbyists are busy little beavers these days, working the phones to demand Brandon’s handlers snuff this little labor dispute out before they reconsider where they’ll be allocating future bribes.
Via CNBC (emphasis added):
“As a port strike stretching from New England to Texas halted nearly half of all trade coming into the U.S., customs data shows that critical medical devices and drug components for the booming, expensive weight-loss and diabetes drugs from Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly — Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro and Zepbound — are among the trade casualties in the ILA union port work stoppage…
“Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly are both heavily reliant on the Port of Norfolk,” said William George, director of research at ImportGenius, which tracks the customs data.
In the past year, Novo Nordisk has imported through Norfolk 419 twenty-foot equivalent unit, or TEU, containers worth of pharmaceuticals and injection devices that contain semaglutide, a compound in its branded weight-loss drugs, according to George. “Novo fine syringes commonly used for insulin injections come into the U.S. by ocean freight as well,” he said.
Novo Nordisk has raked in nearly $50 billion in sales from Wegovy and Ozempic, with most of that revenue coming from the U.S.*, its CEO said in recent testimony before the U.S. Senate.”
*$50 billion dollars extracted from the bleeding American middle-class by an offshore corporation, just like that — all to (allegedly) solve a problem that could be remedied virtually overnight if a tiny fraction of that cash pile were redirected to cleaning up the food supply and educating Americans about what these industries are doing to them instead of allowing these same industries to lie and, worse, laundering those lies through corrupted Public Health™ institutions.
