This War Will Make It Harder For You To Get Your Medicine

from The Ignition News Podcast · host From The Rebel Radio Network

Two shortages. One war. Both hitting your kitchen table.The same conflict choking the Strait of Hormuz is strangling India's pharmaceutical supply chain, and India manufactures 47% of all generic prescriptions Americans take every day. Naphtha prices have jumped over 30% in a week. Inventory cushions at major US distributors are already gone. Supply chain experts are pointing to early to mid April as the inflection point when patients start feeling it.And then there are the missiles. The Wall Street Journal just confirmed what the Pentagon doesn't want you to say out loud: we are burning through interceptors faster than we can make them. SM-6s are being produced at 125 per year. The Strait of Hormuz could stay closed for up to six months. Do the math.The same administration with no plan to restock weapons has no plan to protect your prescriptions. The people who run out of metformin are not the people with private concierge doctors. They are you and me.Two dates to remember: February 28th, when this war started. Early to mid April, when the shortages reach you.This is the Ignition News.
