Under Pressure from Trump, Pfizer Will Begin Discounting Some Prescription Drugs for Americans to More Closely Match the Prices They Charge Foreigners
In further Big Pharma news: Tylenol's maker "quietly" acknowledged the autism risk of the pain-reliever... back in 2018.
Pfizer has agreed to offer significantly discounted prices for some prescription drugs for all American consumers and has committed to offer prescription medications to Medicaid at lower prices, President Trump announced Tuesday. The president said the drugs will be available for purchase online on a website operated by the federal government, which the White House has said will be called "TrumpRx." "Today, I'm thrilled to announce that one of the world's largest pharmaceutical manufacturers and one of the best anywhere in the world, Pfizer, has agreed to offer countless prescription medications at major discounts in the United States, a result of the 'most favored nation' drug pricing order that we established earlier this year," Mr. Trump said in the Oval Office. Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla, who was in the Oval Office with the president for the announcement, said Mr. Trump's threat of 100% tariffs on drugs manufactured outside the U.S. motivated his company to take swift action. The president said Pfizer's drug prices will be lower starting "immediately." The president said the cost of some Pfizer drugs could see decreases in price of 50%-100%. Mr. Trump said this would save American consumers and taxpayers "hundreds of millions of dollars a year." The president said Americans have been "subsidizing research and development costs for the entire planet" because of the higher prices they have been paying. "We're also announcing that moving forward, all new medications introduced by Pfizer to the American market will be sold at the reduced most favored nation cost," the president added. "So, we'll be paying essentially what other countries are paying, who have been much lower -- much, much lower for many, many years." ... The Pfizer agreement is a part of the White House agenda to secure "most favored nation" pricing with pharmaceutical manufacturers. In May, Mr. Trump signed an executive order calling on drugmakers to lower their prices and bring them in line with what other high-income countries pay for the same drugs. He threatened to subject them to steep caps on how much they can earn from Medicare if they failed to do so. Monday was the deadline for drugmakers to reach agreements to bring down drug costs, the Post reported, after the president's May executive order. While the U.S. has less than 5% of the world's population and uses about 13% of the world's prescription drugs, the U.S. funds over 70% of global pharmaceutical profits, according to the White House.
The pharmaceutical company behind Tylenol privately acknowledged the likelihood of an association between its drug in pregnancy and neurodevelopmental disorders like autism in children seven years ago, company documents obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation show. "The weight of the evidence is starting to feel heavy to me," said Rachel Weinstein, U.S. director of epidemiology for Janssen, the pharmaceutical arm of Johnson & Johnson, in 2018. Johnson & Johnson marketed Tylenol at the time but in 2023 spun off its consumer products division into a separate company called Kenvue.Legacy media headlines and vocal public health experts have dismissed the conclusion of President Donald Trump and Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. that Tylenol taken in pregnancy and early infancy has driven rises in autism. But one stakeholder has for years viewed the evidence as credible enough to act upon, at least privately: The makers of Tylenol. The DCNF obtained the company documents from the law firm Keller Postman LLC, which brought a class action lawsuit against Kenvue in the Federal District Court for the Southern District of New York. ... A decade before Weinstein's email, in 2008, Johnson & Johnson began receiving queries from consumers and physicians about a possible link, emails show. "Not much choice but to consider this a safety signal that needs to be evaluated," J&J Office of Consumer Medical Safety Lead Andre Mann wrote in 2008 after receiving a letter from a physician with concerns. Leslie Shur, the head of the division of Johnson & Johnson that monitors the side effects of drugs already on the market, received an alert in 2012 about concerns about acetaminophen and autism from a concerned father, with one employee writing "in case this goes to press." Concerns about a link between Tylenol and neurological disorders may have reached the C-suite by 2014, according to another email, which references then-Johnson & Johnson CEO Alex Gorski. The makers of Tylenol have closely tracked a drumbeat of scientific publications finding an association between taking the blockbuster drug in pregnancy and infancy and autism risk, other company documents show. A 2018 internal presentation the company labeled "privileged and confidential" acknowledges that observational studies show a "somewhat consistent" association between prenatal exposure to Tylenol and neurodevelopmental disorders. Another presentation slide acknowledges that larger meta-analyses -- reviews summarizing multiple scientific studies -- found an association, but notes weaknesses of these studies like confounding variables and subjectivity in measuring autistic traits.
It's almost like Tylenol doesn't want you to use Tylenol while pregnant.

I just heard -- can't cite the source -- that one of the big health officials in the Trump Administration looked at these studies and found the ones that showed an association to be more rigorous and probative and the ones showing no association to be weaker and open to challenge. Something like that is mentioned here:
Epoch Health
@epochhealth Tylenol Use in Pregnancy Linked to 3x Higher Autism and ADHD Risk A Johns Hopkins study of umbilical cord blood found that babies with the highest acetaminophen exposure were three times more likely to be diagnosed with autism or ADHD.
This wasn't fringe science--it came from one of the most respected medical institutions in the world. So why are millions of women still being told it is risk-free?
A recent study found that acetaminophen usage during pregnancy may be associated with a higher likelihood of the child developing autism spectrum disorder or ADHD later on in their childhood. Acetaminophen, commonly sold under the brand name Tylenol and many others, has been considered the safest painkiller for pregnant women to manage fever, headache, and other pain. It's also called paracetamol in other countries, including the United Kingdom. But in the study published earlier this month, researchers led by Andrea Baccarelli of Harvard University found that when children are exposed to the drug during pregnancy “they may be more likely to develop neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) including autism and ADHD,” a university press release said on Aug. 20. Analyzing the results of 46 studies on the painkiller that represents data from 100,000 participants, the researchers looked at a possible connection between pregnant women taking acetaminophen and neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism and ADHD, also known as attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. Their analysis, according to the study's conclusion, "identified studies that found a statistically significant increased risk of NDDs such as ADHD and [autism spectrum disorder] from prenatal acetaminophen exposure, as well as a smaller number of studies that did not find such an association."
The study, published on Aug. 13 in the BMC Environmental Health journal, did not show that acetaminophen can directly cause autism and ADHD, but the researchers involved in the paper raised concerns about current clinical guidelines around administering the painkiller for pregnant women. "Our findings show that higher-quality studies are more likely to show a link between prenatal acetaminophen exposure and increased risks of autism and ADHD," said Diddier Prada, an assistant professor at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai who was involved in the study, in a statement. "Given the widespread use of this medication, even a small increase in risk could have major public health implications." Prada added that "pregnant women should not stop taking medication without consulting their doctors," noting that "untreated pain or fever can also harm the baby. Our study highlights the importance of discussing the safest approach with health care providers and considering non-drug options whenever possible." The paper adds to a body of research that has been collected about acetaminophen. In 2019, a study from Johns Hopkins University that analyzed umbilical cord blood samples found an association between newborns with the highest exposure to the painkiller and ADHD or autism diagnoses during childhood. Researchers found that they were "roughly three times more likely to be diagnosed" with either neurological condition later in their childhood when compared with children who were exposed to the lowest levels of acetaminophen, said the university at the time.More at the link, including a Swedish study throwing doubt on the association.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) called on the Pentagon to protect the religious rights of military personnel after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced a new “no beards” policy. Hegseth told military leaders, “no more beards… we’re going to cut our hair, shave our beards and adhere to standards.” CAIR urged the Department of Defense to clarify that religious accommodations will remain in place for Sikhs, Muslims, Jews, and others.

How about "no"? How about we just declare that Muslim ideology is incompatible with service in the United States armed forces and be done with this charade once and for all?

I guarantee you the same Trial Lawyer crowd that are all about suing companies like Bayer for selling RoundUp somehow are on the side of Big Pharma never having any legal responsibility whatsoever.
The fact Johnson and Johnson spun off Tylenol (to limit liability) tells me they knew something.
They got sued into oblivion over their baby powder and I would argue that truly is junk science that it causes cancer, but liberals were cool with it.

Aside from one Rx med for my blood pressure, I seldom take any medications. I'll chew a couple of Tums tablets now and then, and once in a while, naproxin for the occasional headache.
any kind of cold medication is useless to me IMO. But I do not get colds very often.

They did decades ago. All of these military members running around with full beards have no shave waivers/chits because they claim a medical condition. Regs at least in the Navy say you have to shave at least once a week and you have to keep your beard trimmed to 1/4 inch at all other times. They have just been ignoring the regulations. Apparently that stops now.

We need to put the screws to Big Pharma for advertising these drugs but also need to put the screws to doctors for prescriptions for these meds without researching any of them. These disgusting doctors are the real bad guys in this whole scenario. I am down with the death penalty for doctors who get kickbacks from Big Pharma along with the doctors that mutilate children and told people to get the covid shot.
As you can see, I hate doctors as much as I hate Big Pharma.

My concern on the drug pricing is that that companies will just come up with different formulations for each country.
Like mattress companies relabeling the same shit so that consumers can not compare prices between stores.
The only solution is a "price board" and that's socialism.

And I eagerly await the Lefties who will claim that reducing drug prices in the U.S. is acshullly terrible, and the prices should go higher than ever.
Dirty secret - a drug costs a billion to research, and 10 years to get approved. They have to recover that money. But the erst of the world wildly underpays them, so they jack up the U.S. prices to get the payback. If the rest of the world would pay a little more, we could pay a LOT less.

Nah.
Just an FTC and FDA rule that says they must publicly post in a cross-referenced, searchable database, each name and formation of any drug under patent.
Posted by: People's Hippo Voice
----------
There is a lot more to it. They could make things complicated so that the specific thing that got approved in USA is only available in the USA, and a slightly different drug is sold overseas. Different prices.
They have been doing this for years to extend their patents and while generic drugs can and do copy the formulation, the company comes out with revision that they claim is better --- and then they give Drs a kickback on the new version which is still under patent.

Now, I ask you, who would throw a can at someone who could literally crush them into goo with his little finger? What a stupid movie.

In large part they are possible because the more advanced economies who depend on our patented drugs threaten us with patent infringement if we don't give them cheap drugs. Companies figure it's better to cave in than have foreign factories churning out their drugs while thumbing their noses at our laws.

I am curious what deals were made to get this to happen. One of the reasons that drugs are so expensive here is that other nations demand they sell cheaper there, or they will go to alternate sources (aka China knockoffs), so its a kind of extortion. Companies do this knowing that they can and will charge more in the USA to make up for it. If they cannot do so, I'm not sure what will be done to make money.
Second, Pharma are big corporations, which mean they have boards that demand an increase in profits every quarter. Cutting their earning from drugs will result in lower profits, which companies will not put up with. So what deals were made to let them make money?
If its smart, they will face some lesser regulation that has driven up their costs, but I'm curious.

my problem with the tylenol-autism link is that boys are diagnosed with autism 4x as often as girls. If tylenol is the culprit how does it avoid girls so much? Now, you and I both know that they are diagnosing many boys with autism because they are energetic and chaotic while girls are subdued and obedient at a young age (typically) but it does raise questions.

Not just anybody can read those entrails. By all the gods, we need those fairies in black dresses to command our lives with no accountability, through the awesome power of their mystical arcana.
These men must be drawn from our ruling class and obeyed without question or we risk angering the gods. Do you want to question the wisdom of these charlatans? I didn't think so.

The only solution I see is deregulation to allow foreign approved drugs to be sold in USA. But that would hurt the drug companies.

Poor emotion control, unable to imagine the feelings and thoughts of others in the abstract, crap attention span, strident arrogance when not at all warranted, rampant Dunning-Krueger... I think it started appearing in the generation before mine, say "Late Boomers/Early GenX", and has only been ramping up since. It's got to be environmental somehow. And I think there's a general psychical or even neurological disorder that's just wrongly getting called "Autism Spectrum" because there's no code for "Dickhead". I don't know. I'm just rambling.

I talked to a group of young adults today who were affected by COVID. I walked away with these facts;
- They despise Democrats for taking away their freedoms and forcing medicine on them they didn’t want. They are never going to forget that.
- They despise big pharma and the healthcare industry for helping to run the COVID op
- They find the social media companies to be insidious participants in the effort to quell free speech
- They don’t get any “news” from the MSM because they believe it’s all propaganda
I was shocked because it was a bit of a mixed group. But it provides one a lot of hope.

If you need some actual useful Gofundme pages to donate to:
Two medical residents were in the church that got shot up and then set on fire in Detroit. They were injured themselves in the attacks, but pushed past that and treated other members of their church that were injured. Heroes. The Godundme has pics of their families and, of course, they are huge families with a lot of adorable little kids. One guy has five kids.
Also, the first person the monster shot was an older, sweet looking navy vet. There is a Gofundme to help his family with expenses.

He turned the Oval Office into a neofederalist Trump Tower with the gold. To paraphrase the gay kid stylist in School of Rock, it's tacky and I hate it. But it is what it is.
Someone found the actual location of some of the wall decor, and it's like a Hobby Lobby wall sconces spray painted gold. Somehow that makes me slightly more fine with it.

This group was composed of young adults who either just entered the workforce or have been there a year or so. There were also a bunch of interns. It was a leadership discussion. Along the lines of- what does it take to be a leader, with a lot of real life examples. We really veered off into the COVID thing because they felt it showed a complete LACK of leadership and courage. It was more an example of what NOT to do. They were very emotional about it to the point they posited it was a surrender to authoritarianism. A few of them were really smoked. I loved their passion

My Sainted Mother's recipe was as follows:
Whiskey
Tsp of Honey
A bit of Lemon juice
If that didn't do the trick, Vicks Vaporub was smeared all over your chest, under and in your nose and on your neck.

I think Trump has kinda made the Oval office ugly but whatever, its his office. His style has always been kind of gaudy and ostentatious (although the new Rose Garden and what I've seen of the Ballroom look very subdued and appropriate for the capitol).

Mom had a vaporizer she'd bust out any time we had a cold, with vicks rubbed near the nozzel. Made the room very moist but it seemed to help. When we felt a little better we could have some ginger ale.

TPUSA is back in Utah today, and there was a bomb scare on the Utah State campus. Their security team was doing sweeps of the campus and found a suspicious package. Looks like it might have just been a false alarm and not connected at all to the TPUSA event. But they have to be hyper vigilant and call everything in, of course.
The TPUSA event tonight has Governor Cox, Mike Lee, and Jason Chaffetz in attendance. Was going to be in a small auditorium, and demand made them move it to the basketball arena. Hope it's 100% full! And well protected.

- They despise Democrats for taking away their freedoms and forcing medicine on them they didn’t want. They are never going to forget that.
- They despise big pharma and the healthcare industry for helping to run the COVID op
- They find the social media companies to be insidious participants in the effort to quell free speech
- They don’t get any “news” from the MSM because they believe it’s all propaganda
I was shocked because it was a bit of a mixed group. But it provides one a lot of hope.

If we couldn't keep any food down, mom would give us ice cubes in a rag to suck on for moisture, but not too much at once. Then when we were a little better, a cracker or two to see if we could keep them down. I think she learned that from her mom but who knows where all this stuff came from.
Dad was a medic in the Air Force and I know he brought a lot of knowledge to the marriage too. I used to fall and bust my head open a lot and he taught her how to bind that up.

Blond Mort, I feel like the pricing is backwards. Why not charge Americans lower costs, and have the other countries have the higher prices to subsidize it? Don't they do that to us with their tariffs and with certain products? Why does everything have to be on the back of the American taxpayer? That's my take.
Until COVID I was willing to give pharmaceuticals the "net good" pass. No longer. They shredded my trust.

There is such a thing as sex linked differences leading to differing outcomes. Men have a higher prevalence for schizophrenia, for example, and women present with schizophrenia, on the average, about a decade older than men.
However I have heard an interesting insight that Kennedy might be laying Acetaminophen manufacturers open for lawsuits which will be countered by possible arguments that the childhood schedule of vaccinations are actually the cause, bringing those manufacturers to court as part of discovery; which is about the only way they can be reviewed legally due to their immunity.
In a smaller lawsuit, the drug companies would take a loss or pay off with an NDA instead of litigating the issue, but the cost in this case is insurmountable due to all the diagnosed autism cases in the US alone that are life-long disabilities
