Pfizer warns of a looming penicillin supply shortage

Pfizer is facing a shortage of penicillin due to increased demand and more diagnoses of syphilis, the company said in a letter to its customers this week.

The company said there is an "impending stock out situation" for select Bicillin L-A and Bicillin C-R prefilled syringes, Pfizer's brand name of injectable penicillin.

Prefilled Bicillin L-A pediatric syringes are expected to begin running low by the end of June, while all Bicillin C-R syringes could begin diminishing in the third quarter of this year.

Inventory is predicted to start recovering in the second and third quarters of 2024, Pfizer said.

Penicillin is an antibiotic used to treat various types of infections, including sexually transmitted diseases, such as syphilis and pneumonia.

Either the NPR writer was sloppy or, well, I don't want to know :thud: .
I am not and never have been a leftist.

If The Vaccine is deadly as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, millions now living would have died.

I'm guessing grammatical sloppiness.

Golly, all these drug shortages, from chemotherapy drugs to basic antibiotics. Is Bill Gates popping the cork on the bottle of champagne to celebrate the increased number of deaths?

The writer is confusing Chlamydia pneumoniae with Chlamydia trachomatis. The first is not an STI and the second one is and is the commonly (only) called Chlamydia.

I have been watching this, because I used to order veterinary antibiotics to have on hand when I was in the field. Yep, I took them, they worked, and I suffered no ill effects while getting rid of the infection that was a problem. When the wait to see a doctor (outside a $1500.00 ER visit) was two weeks or more, it was not only prudent, but a potential lifesaver.

That supply started drying up when COVID hit, with one of the primary and most trusted manufacturers simply discontinuing their whole product line. The capsules were identical to the ones for humans at the pharmacy, and often had expiration dates further out than the ones from the pharmacy.
The entire line from penicillin to cipro disappeared overnight.

Since then, it has been more difficult to get antibiotics, with suppliers demanding double the prices from pre-COVID days, not to mention Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine being restricted like opioid pain pills.

I guess neither the bug nor the jabs were sufficiently deadly, so different means will be used to ensure 'enough' people die, whatever that goal is. Combine this with 'supply chain problems' induced in part by California's restrictions on trucks, baby food shortages, energy/travel restrictions which will be imposed, and the coming food shortage from closing farms and the Ukraine war, and something is seriously wrong with the way things are being run.
The storm is a little too perfect, imho, for coincidence, and I'm an adherent to Gibbs Rule 39, anyway.
