FDA makes another great decision. Abortion pills by mail now?

[Saltwater60]

Ah what could go wrong right?

FDA lifts curbs on dispensing abortion pills during pandemic

The FDA concluded that allowing patients to receive abortion pills through the mail will not increase risks.

Good. Should stay that way as well.

No safety concerns I’m sure. Oh let me take twice the amount to make sure we kill this innocent baby that’s done nothing wrong at all except my failures.

We're the FDA and we care about your health so thank you for trusting us with everything.

Getting them by mail instead of driving to the pharmacy won't stop someone from "double dosing" in their own home if that's what they want to do, if that's even a thing.

Ivermectin should be over the counter then too .. right @Dr. Evil

I have no problem with this. I fully understand why my views on this might not be shared, but personally I believe a great many medications, most probably (perhaps not opiates and such, but treatment medications certainly) should all be available without prescription or difficulty in acquiring them. I see it as a freedom to not require permission.
I'm NOT saying people shouldn't go to doctors for proper diagnosis and such of course, but all should be able to make their own choices in medication. If people decide to use the incorrect medications or not use the medications as directed by a physician, that's their choice and their problem. I'm also not saying that I don't see some serious issues with my opinion, but I personally believe it is a bigger issue that people don't have personal freedoms in this regard.
Let me make one thing very clear here as well, I very much do NOT believe that health insurance, and certainly not state/federal supplied health insurance that is paid for with taxes of any sort, should pay for any such self-prescribed/acquired meds. In short, if someone thinks they need something and can pay for it, they should be able to get it without permission. I do realize that the issue of repercussions of misuse being paid for by health insurance becomes.. complicated for sure, but that falls under my prior admission that this opinion has some issues. If you don't agree with me, I totally get it.

I think requiring permission to obtain substances to put in your own body is wholly immoral. Be it water or a bullet.

More dragged down by the failed war on drugs.

I get that, I do but most people are too stupid to self diagnose and will say it might be this or it might be that ah well I’ll take these two drugs to treat both. Oh wait they don’t play well together.

I agree with the stupid part. For sure we will start to see teenagers and women trying to take the pills 9 months into their pregnancy...

I'm too stupid to fix my own car. No mechanical knowledge.

Should I be required by law to have a mechanic tell me what is wrong and how to fix it?

Some people make a decision to have kids and it costs them a fortune over many years. Some people make the same decision to have kids because they make a fortune over many years. I bet if it cost just a quarter to get through the fallopian tubes, the birth rate would decrease considerably.

The FDA is owned by big pharma...

In 1982-83, before I went to Kenya, I worked at the Uniformed Services University For The Health Sciences in Bethesda, MD. Essentially it was the military medical school.

The guy I worked with was a PhD/MD with bucket loads of real world medical experience and an excellent researcher. He was a nice guy...probably too nice.

He was on the FDA panel that approved drugs...one day I knew that's where he was...

He came back very early and was fuming. He was primary reviewer on one drug that was seeking approval. He destroyed the drug on every medical and scientific metric possible. The panel still voted for approval.

He quit on the spot, after ripping them a new asshole. They didn't care.

He told me then that the entire FDA was in the bag for pharma and nothing they did was to be trusted, ever.

Never forgot that lesson.
