Penicillin is used to treat a wide variety of bacterial infections, including ear and throat infections. It’s wild that the first thing NBC News worries about is syphilis. Is there some sort of increase in syphilis cases?
Shortage of penicillin limits access to the go-to drug for syphilis
The Food and Drug Administration on Wednesday reported a shortage of an injectable form of penicillin, an antibiotic used to treat syphilis and other bacterial infections like strep throat.
The drug joins a growing list of medications facing supply shortages in the U.S. Liquid amoxicillin, another antibiotic used to treat strep, has been in short supply since October, according to the FDA.
The form of penicillin affected, called penicillin G benzathine, is the preferred drug for syphilis, because it can be used in adults, children and pregnant people. It’s often administered in outpatient clinics or urgent care settings. Dosages for both children and adults are in short supply, according to the FDA.
Syphilis cases in the U.S. reached a 70-year high in 2021, the last year for which data is available, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The sexually transmitted infection can result in organ damage or death if left untreated.
The FDA attributed the penicillin shortage to increased demand. Pfizer, the sole supplier of that form of penicillin in the U.S., pointed to the amoxicillin shortage as the main issue, because it prompted doctors to recommend penicillin instead. The rise in syphilis cases most likely further accelerated demand, the company said.
Yes, yes there is. Because there are consequences to advocating for unprotected, irresponsible sexual relations.
The amoxicillin shortage arose during a surge of respiratory virus infections over the fall and winter, when the antibiotic was prescribed for secondary bacterial infections resulting from Covid, flu or respiratory syncytial virus.
Another day, another report of shortages due to the results of Wuhan flu. Fortunately, Biden’s all over it
Biden’s 30-hour workweek: How president’s age has cut down schedule
Even White House staffers admit that President Biden’s advanced age is affecting his workload.
Days after the 80-year-old formally announced he would run for re-election in 2024, Axios reported Friday that aides say it’s tough to schedule “public or private events” with Biden at certain times of day — namely weekends, mornings, and evenings.
In fact, the report adds, most of Biden’s public events happen between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.
That works out to a 30-hour workweek — even less than the official 35-hour workweek in France.
That’s considered one hour more than a part time job by most companies (because of the Obamacare line about 30 being full time). What Biden’s aids are admitting is that he does jack-sh*t on most weekends, when he’s either at one of his homes in Delaware or Camp David. Give it up to Obama, he worked a lot. For all the caterwauling, Trump did, as well. So did Bush 43, Clinton, Bush 41, Reagan, Carter, etc. Because that’s what the job requires. A job Biden voluntarily ran for. Of course, in fairness, I guess Biden is going for quality, not quantity, because he’s doing a great job in destroying America with those short hours.
If destroying America was an Olympic sport:

A reduced workweek for an elderly guy on the factory floor or construction site is one thing, but Mr Biden’s job is a brain job, a thinking job. The most strenuous thing he has to do is sometimes stand up and shake hands. Heck, Franklin Roosevelt did the job while he was crippled from polio!
Just more NYPost bologna!! LOL. So, President Biden schedules meetings/events between 10 AM and 4 PM. So that’s 6 hrs a day x 5 or 30 hrs/ work week!
Tubby Trump‘s schedule was also revealed by Axios. Note too that Tubby was a spry 70 yr old but still started his work days at 11 AM. Maybe he did his early morning workouts, LOL.
Unlike Tubby, President Biden doesn’t spend time managing his ‘outside interests’ like a Hotel or business deals with Russia and Saudi Arabia.
Did Tubby spend his weekends working in the White House?
Maybe you all don’t remember the Trump stories… e.g., Trump Could Be Our Laziest President Ever, According to Leaked Schedules (see the Axios article)
Then he had more ‘Executive Time’ and a leisurely lunch!
Rimjob making excuses for Brandon’s lack of commitment to the job and using the totally unbiased Axios reporting on Trump to do it.
At least Trump didn’t try to destroy the US economy.
More liberal logic, hey chubby?
Do you know who’s the President now?
Cry harder.

Bwaha! Lolgf
DickBreath,
Don’t be such a dumbass, shorty. Axios was the source of the schedules for BOTH President Biden and Tubby Don, LOL.
At least President Biden didn’t stage a coup like Tubby did.
Mr. Trump sends his regards to you and yours, chubby.
Thanks Rimjob

Are these first or worst U.S. drug shortages evuh? Nope.
The U.S. typically averages about 150 drug shortages per year. Are drug shortages the fault of a president?
A friend with metastatic prostate cancer cannot get 177Lu-PSMA-617 (Pluvicto), a promising radionuclide that targets prostate cells. The manufacturer, Novartis, underestimated demand and is having to expand their production capacity.
Incels are unnecessarily concerned about STD rates
Tubby, President Biden doesn’t spend time managing his ‘outside interests’ like a Hotel or business deals with Russia and Saudi Arabia.
He doesn’t need too. Thats what President Xi and the mayor of Moscow and the government of Ukraine is paid to do for the “BIG GUY”
