Seigerman also pointed to concerns over recent #layoffs at the #FDA, saying the worries were now compounded by the "real talk" of #pharma #tariffs.
#Europe & the #US have interconnected supply chains for #medicines. The United States depends on medicines partly produced in Europe that bring in hundreds of billions of dollars in revenue.

If other #carmakers make similar moves, the #economic impact could be severe, leading to higher #car #prices & widespread #layoffs. The #tariffs on #cars are among the first of several industry-specific levies that #Trump has in his sights & could offer early clues about how businesses will respond to his #trade policies, including whether they raise #prices or increase manufacturing in the US. Trump also wants to #tax the imports of #medicines & #ComputerChips.

EU’s medicine stockpiling strategy challenged by national security concerns.
The European Union’s efforts to build a medical stockpile and strengthen health crisis preparedness face a major challenge: a blind spot over national reserves. Many member states are reluctant to share information due to security concerns.
#Microsoft now says it has created a new state of #matter in its quest to make a powerful machine, called a #quantum #computer, that could accelerate the development of everything from #batteries to #medicines to #AI.
On Wednesday, Microsoft’s scientists said they had built what is known as a “topological qubit” based on this new phase of physical existence, which could be harnessed to solve mathematical, scientific & technological problems.
Recommendations for essential #medicines for #MultipleSclerosis in #low-resource settings have been published by an international, multi-disciplinary panel, supported by the MS International Federation (#MSIF).

I've had a hormonal IUS before, not a copper IUD coil.
jfc insertion is painful (but apparently not for other people??!) but not having to deal with condoms or the pill or anything? for YEARS?!
And the success rate is the highest or right up there. I think the arm implant is 1 pregnancy in 2000 couples over a year or two...? Unless that's the hormonal IUS.
ALSO THERE ARE DIFFERENT DOSES AND SIZES. If you're nulliparous (have never given birth) like me, GET THE SMALLEST, holy shit.
Why the flying fuck they bunged the massive Mirena in there, I've no fucking clue. Again: some people feel "mild discomfort" and other people do just feel some mild discomfort but not pain!
But yeah, even with the insertion pain, I'm getting an IUS again soon. It's just that damn convenient and reliable, I cannot lie.
