In the weeks since #Trump signed an #ExecutiveOrder dismantling the #USAID, Andrea Minaj Casablanca’s phone has been inundated w/desperate pleas for help.

A counselor who works w/nonprofits catering to members of #Uganda’s embattled #LGBTQ population, she has fielded urgent requests from people seeking #HIV #medications, #therapy sessions & #shelter in the wake of Trump’s EO. Casablanca responded to these calls while grappling w/her own crisis: being fired from a job that was funded by USAID.

Likewise I am not up on every detail of changes made since the striking of #RoeVsWade, but IIRC several #American states have made the #prescribing or #dispensing of #medications known to be used for medical abortion illegal, even if the specific purpose for a specific patient is for another reason unconnected to abortion.

(Reminder: yes, many Rx can and are used for many different conditions, not just the thing they're most famous for)

Now I have ABSOLUTELY NOT had the energy to stay abreast of everything going on with our neighbours to the south, but I seem to recall that they just appointed a guy who doesn't believe in vaccinations or #medications for many conditions as the top health official.

And regardless of what rules and processes were once in place (for ANY department), we hear daily reports of the very same being completely ignored by those in charge.

One of the problems with the #mentalhealth #medications that I am on is that they dull both the positive and negative emotions. I notice that it takes a lot to make me genuinely laugh. I almost have to fake laugh at things. I miss having a real belly laugh. But I don't miss the deep throes of depression. I guess I'll trade the belly laughs for the major depression anyday.

#Trump Halts #HIV Drug Distribution in Poor Countries

#PEPFAR’s computer systems also are being taken offline, a sign that the program may not return, as #Republican critics had hoped.

The Trump admin has instructed organizations in other countries to stop disbursing HIV #medications purchased w/ US aid, even if the drugs have already been obtained & are sitting in local clinics.

Dictator #DJT Revokes #Biden Exec Order ‘Lowering Prescription Drug Costs for Americans.’

Massively shifting impact immediately affects more than 6 million Californians on #Medicare and those #diabetics who get insulin capped at $35 a month.

“I was shocked,” said #California #Pharmacist Sonya Frausto.

If gov subsidies are gone, #pharmacists can no longer provide #medications at lower govt subsidized rates and the impact of the #health industry clusterfuck is immediate on US patients relying on these rates.

"The risks from giving medications to birthing patients and then testing them for illicit substances have been well documented. A 2022 study by researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital found that 91 percent of women given fentanyl in their epidurals tested positive for it afterward. Other studies have found that mothers can quickly pass these medications on to their babies. A baby’s positive drug test “cannot and should not be used to identify fentanyl drug abuse in mothers,” said Athena Petrides, the lead researcher of one of the studies at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston."—Shoshana Walter
