      At some point we’ll just stop respecting American intellectual property law and copy whatever they make for free.

      The only thing monopolists hate is a monopsony. Set up an EU pharma buying agency.

      This all sounds great actually. Europe has its own massive pharmaceutical industry that the US working on cutting off. They can just make these drugs and sell them in Europe to make up for the missed income in the US.

      Alternatively, if EU is chicken shit about IP, India has a massive pharmaceutical industry that makes copies of most drugs, a deal can be made there as well.

      Lol.

      Denmark produces 70+% of all the insulin consumed in the USA.

      Threaten to withhold that.

      Release their patents so others can make generics. Corporations shouldn’t be pushing around countries.

      So the USA doesn’t want any more Ozempic or Wegovy?

      It is up to them whether they sell their drugs to us. It is up to us how much we are willing to pay for it. It is up to us to suspend their IP and make our own.

      The threat is not a real one, considering they would get 0$ instead of what they get right now

      Kiss your IP and patent protections goodbye, TrashMurica

      Invalidate all US IP, ban the use of Microsoft/Google/AWS at government levels, sell US bonds.

      Also don’t forget the Republic Of Ireland also makes allot of pharmaceutical drugs that the US needs too

      We make all their viagra, mounjaro and botox. Get fucked.

      Nice, this is an interesting way to threatening another country.
      You better give us Greenland or we will not give your medicine to our own people.
      Seem logical.

      I mean, fine I suppose? No-one is forcing you to sell your product into Europe, but it seems like shooting yourself in the foot.

      This is a ridiculous threat, the EU is the world’s biggest market for healthcare and state-of-the-art medicine. The way medical patents work means that these companies only have a couple of years to recoup their investments. Cutting out the European market means that this becomes a lot harder to do, unless the Americans will be paying more. The only reason that these companies think this might work is because it worked on the UK. These companies are bluffing with an empty hand.

      The only sane reason behind this strategy is these companies signalling that they’re really trying to lower prices, but those darn Europeans are preventing it. They’ll go back to the Big Orange Turd and say: “please force the EU to agree to our demands or allow us to raise prices in the US again.” The end result is self-damaging to the US.

      In this new economic free-for-all climate, there is very little to stop dug companies cloning their competitors’ products…

      Fine, withhold all their ozempic and wait for them to die of the natural American cause of death; morbid obesity.

    24. Waste-Helicopter-318 on

      No more Ozempic for the Americans. Guess they’ll have to lose weight the old fashion way again.

    27. LogicalReasoning1 on

      It’s already the case that a lot of novel medicines don’t reach European markets because payers don’t consider them worth reimbursing (usually as they are not deemed cost-effective)

      Drugs aren’t getting cheaper to develop so this will continue unless a) us European countries decide we want to spend more on new medicines or b) Pharma is essentially turned into a not for profit business

      Orange ointment and fat face are going going black market but the spine removal cream is free for all western leaders

    29. Revolutionary_Pen190 on

      So the American people will be held hostage to their dictator
