Maybe the UK should join the US in importing all their pharmaceuticals from China: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-07-10/fda-allows-more-cancer-drug-imports-from-china-amid-shortage
This is the actual solution, and I'm not sure why I'm getting so many downvotes from it. Clearly, purely capitalist markets aren't enough to sustain a decent pharmaceuticals industry.
Omg!! Next they may be importing them from INDIA!!! /s
In which world is the Chinese market not capitalist? Chinese drug exports are absolutely for-profit. They don't export out of philanthropy. It's probably even worse than elsewhere!
Every other type of market system ensures there simply is no access.
China drugs hardly go thru any tests to ensure they are safe. Simply release them to market and check for negative side effects after.
What a load of bollocks.
This is the same drug being sourced from a different supplier. What the fuck are you talking about?

China has been flooding the US with fentanyl as a form of shadow warfare. No thanks

Fentanyl is manufactured for medical use in the massive and extremely lucrative US market. The fact that American drug cartels import it for sale on the black market is an unfortunate side-effect.
The solution to the opioid epidemic is stupidly simple: enable safe supply so that addicts don't have to destroy their lives in pursuit of their addiction. That, by the way, is an addiction created by US pharmaceutical companies forcing doctors to overprescribe opioids despite knowing how addicting they are.
China doesn't have to wage shadow warfare when the US is happy to do so to itself.
Cartels were buying from china. China refused to do anything about it when confronted by us for a long time now.
US still trying to stem the flow
