One script that Harold Neifman proposed for Season 14 was tentative titled ‘The Dream World’.
In this episode, the Fourth Inspector and his Associates would be confronted with people who were forced into a waking dreamlike state by a pharmaceutical administrated by government officials.

Last week, Johnson & Johnson agreed not to enforce their secondary patents on bedaquiline in most countries after a long public pressure campaign by TB activists around the world.
(A special shoutout to Nandita Venkatesan and Phumeza Tisilethe, the two women who led the charge to prevent the patent evergreening in India, which is the only reason generic bedaquiline is in production.)
But the problem of patent evergreening is everywhere--as this NYT story reports, Gilead intentionally denied people access to a drug they knew to be less toxic than alternatives because it wanted to extend its monopoly on HIV drugs for as long as possible.
Similarly, Johnson & Johnson has been intentionally denying people access to affordable bedaquiline, even though they knew they could make a profit even if they decreased the price by 65%.
What's especially galling is that both these companies benefit tremendously from public investment (bedaquiline research was funded primarily by the public), and so we end up paying for it twice--once to develop it, and once to have it available to the sick.
This is infuriating, and it is resulting in the real impoverishment and death of so many people. How does it end? With better governance and regulation. In this respect, India can be a model for us--their courts have done a much better job than U.S. ones of determining what really deserves to be patented and for how long. I'm hopeful that we can learn from the, but disgusted by this ongoing horror.

strange finds of the day- baseball shoes, a cosplay jacket of an unknown character, and a very confusing pharmaceutical shirt.

Every time I remember people don't have dipyrone/metimazole in the US and Australia I want to cry. Your governments banished God's Favorite Child, and in exchange for what? The fucking false prophet, tylenol?!? Vile.

people can dislike detransitioners all they want but regardless of that, it is still important to study our experiences… trans people fully deserve to know what the effects will be if they have to or decide to stop taking their medications for any reason.

What is it with this new framing by drug companies of gastrointestinal issues as "just girly things"???? Like. I spent last week with my grandparents which meant that live TV was on in the background at nearly all waking hours and the amount of commercials I've seen, from laxative companies to nutritional supplement companies framing chronic constipation, bloating, and other GI issues as just little things that happen when you're a woman. There was one commercial where this woman was like (paraphrased) "I get constipated a lot, like most women do". Also framing constipation as just making you feel 'heavy' and encouraging laxative and supplement use to feel 'lighter'. Chronic constipation isn't about feeling 'heavy'! It's got nothing to do with how you feel! It's often a symptom of an underlying GI disorder and not just a feeling oh my god.
Ladies. It is not a normal part of womanhood to be experiencing chronic GI issues. Talk to your doctor. Don't listen to these companies telling you to just treat yourself with OTC solutions and that your very real issues are just 'feeling heavy'. Oh my god. As someone who actually has these issues this is infuriating.
