    This motherfucker is literally gonna kill me by making my already unaffordable cancer meds really insanely unaffordable.

    Something like almost half of generic medications are made in India.

      Is this for cancer drugs or generics in general? Only asking because most of the generics I see in the UK are made here, but that might be because I’ve only seen the more common medications and not stuff like cancer drugs.

      Hope you manage to beat the cancer!

        India makes a huge amount of drugs. The UK probably just doesn’t import them.

        You might not see them made in India on the label since the tablet is assembled in UK but the API (the molecule that actually does the job) and additives might be sourced elsewhere. China and India produce a lot of them. They might also sell precursors later used to make API in UK so there might be always some contribution form India / China etc.

        Look, I’ve been worried about being under surveillance for my political views and personal connections since the Bush era (made friends in college with middle eastern exhange students who went back to their home country and kept in touch). Technically (not really) being part of the queer community because I date transwomen (transwomen are women, duh) further complicates the matter. Not looking to be the first white cisman US citizen to be disappeared to El Salvador, thanks.

        If I manage to leave the country I better god damn have a plan to not have to come back and to get some form of political asylum elsewhere.

            Well I’m glad someone out there thinks so. I am pretty self assured that I am on the right side of history, but fuck living in this country beats down your mental health, doesn’t it?
