Big Pharma is using Trump’s tariff threat to hold Europe to ransom.

Our health should not be in the hands of these profiteers. We need a better way of making medicines.

Pleased to be in Politico with Peter Maybarduk of @publiccitizen.bsky.social 👇

Big Pharma is using tariffs to hold Europe to ransom

We can have a world where everyone has access to the medicines they need. But both Trump and pharma companies will push us in the opposite direction.

Was Vance’s speech just now in Munich the ugliest example of gaslighting in recent times?? Not Russia, not extreme right, but European moderators who fight “desinformation” are worst enemies of democracy. We’ve arrived in a nightmare mirror world.

Sometimes the combination of arrogance and ignorance is breathtaking. Yes, US health care has high admin costs; that's because it relies so much on private insurers. Govt-run health insurance has much lower overhead
