Tornado damage to North Carolina Pfizer plant could worsen drug shortages

A tornado that damaged a Pfizer manufacturing facility in North Carolina is sparking concerns about worsening drug shortages in U.S. hospitals and highlighting the vulnerability of the domestic supply chain. 

Pfizer said its facility in Rocky Mount, N.C., makes nearly 25 percent of the company’s sterile injectable medicines used in U.S. hospitals. It sustained serious damage Wednesday by an EF-3 rated tornado, according to the National Weather Service.

    The place supplies 1/4 of the intravenous meds like anesthetics used in U.S. hospitals every year. Due to the shortage I heard the hospitals will start issuing bullets to patients to bite on during their operations.

    No skin off my nose, I stopped trusting the medical establishment entirely some time ago. I wouldn't even get a tetanus shot these days.

    As much as we loathe Pfizer, Moderna and others for the profiteering from COVID, Pfizer anyway does make stuff critical to the US healthcare system. And as I used to work in pharmaceutical manufacturing and know there are not a whole lot of contract manufacturers that can pick up this slack quickly.

    Pfuck Pfizer, they've got plenty of dough to rebuild & re-fit because some guy in government gave them immunity from damages for their bogus inoculations.
