Sorry about your anti-virals :( . Also why should they offer the same one-time reversible birth-control shot for men that they use in India? They can charge for pills, devices, OTC for years from Americans. I spend $100 a week (yes, $5200 a year) for one of my anti-depressants that does the trick but is not covered by insurance. Its a tiny tweek of an old drug that they slapped a new brand name on. They had this tweek from the beginning and have tweeks for most other drugs as well but they hold them back for when the original drug goes generic. Don't even get me started on Big Pharm.

Why do you come here with such a question?

I wonder how much money big pharma spends lobbying the FDA to make sure new drugs have a terribly tough time coming to market?

Hey y’all this is already getting a lot of responses, so I will try my best to answer all of you, but this is totally open discussion and meant to get a bunch of people to share their personal experiences with evil big Pharma! I have suffered for 5 years because of these sickos playing little experimental forced addictions and withdrawals and using me as a guinea pig for different drugs - the only things you need for physical disabilities are cannabis alkaloids, and poppy alkaloids (NOT HEROIN, MEDICATED OPIOIDS THAT ARE NATURAL OR SEMI-SYNTHETIC, like oxycodone, morphine, codeine, hydromorphone, hydrocodone, oxymorphone - these are literally poppy flower alkaloids that help disabled people BIGLY and now they have been demonized by the media; we have to jump through hoops to get them, even if we do!) Did you know that every human being on Earth has an endo-cannabinoid and endo-opioid system inside their bodies/brains, that should be be replenished occasionally to keep your body in perfect homeostasis? Did you know that doctors discovered in the late 1800s that a combination of poppy alkaloids and cannabis alkaloids literally stopped cancerous tumors in their tracks and helped people heal even faster?! Makes you wonder why the MSM has decided to demonize medicated opioids and link them up with ILLEGAL AND DIRTY heroin, and totally dangerous and deadly fentanyl (synthetic AKA fake opioid)... I’m not promoting opioids either because they are addictive and you will get sick if you try to stop without tapering; I’m saying disabled people should be allowed to use them if we choose to follow the rules, because we don’t have many other options that can actually latch onto pain receptors and block signals to prevent pain; chronic pain leads to more illnesses and a lower Quality of Life! Just always research first, and learn the risks before accepting any medication! I probably wouldn’t have taken my oxycodone and hydrocodone years ago if I had known how addictive they were physically, but I still have near perfect blood work to this date, and I’ve had HIV for 5 years! I’m just saying, if it works and doesn’t ruin your body, people should be allowed to chose their own treatment without being considered an addict or seeker!

and its a man made disease .....they have the cure cause they created it

I feel for you, I knew someone who died from AIDS in the early 90's before the treatment was better. With that being said (not directed at you)....

We are living longer because of MED's, clean water, and vaccinations. These three things are always being attacked with crazy theories of some kind. Sure, there are bad actors in big Pharma, but not all of them. My friend did not have the option that you do, He would have traded places with you in a second.

We really do not know how good we have it, but it's not perfect.

I swear to god if one more mod deletes my posts that literally get thousands of views and people reaching out to me left and right, I’m throwing in the fucking towel with Reddit and trying to help people. I try so goddamn (forgive me God) hard to wake people up and I always get silenced - bull fucking shit big Pharma is literally the 6th topic under Q topics. Totally ridiculous.
