With the presence of inequalities in healthcare and many other aspects, the general population must be informed to raise awareness about the necessity to take actions against it. #HST440

It's critical for the higher authorities including the government to understand that subsidies such as insurance is necessary to support individuals in need of long term care. #HST440

With the increasing trend of an aging society, polypharmacy is observed as an important issue to address. It's crucial to understand that deprescription instead of prescription can be considered as a solution from time to time. #HST440

It's important to identify that use of drug shouldn't always be regarded as the go-to solution to achieve the well-being of health as it could further introduce serious threats through various antibiotic-resistant infections. #HST440

With appearance of new variant, it's critical to assess the primary reason for it, which perhaps could be observed as a consequence of vaccine inequity, to further prevent other variants from developing in the future. #HST440

Unfortunate to examine the reality of healthcare. Despite globalization, racial inequities remain as an issue to be addressed throughout the globe. It's crucial to identify the root cause of the issue for resolution in the future. #HST440

JUST IN: Omicron COVID variant was in Europe before South African scientists detected and flagged it to the world https://t.co/p1Hh7YSRZQ

It's strange for a candidate with pharmaceutical industry ties to be nominated even though other candidates were dropped because of the close relationships formed with pharmaceutical industry. #HST440

While informal, the data represented in the article calls for the need for better regulation and control of COVID-19 vaccine in Canada. Especially because there are still countries which are in need of vaccine for protection against COVID-19. #HST440 https://t.co/kCQZGAhTCn

[Chae Yoon Kim @Chae_HST440]

Interesting to read about the federal government and its thought on the protection act regarding whistleblowers in Canada. Is there need for a change? Maybe, yes. #HST440

CVS, Walgreens and Walmart recklessly distributed massive amounts of pain pills in two Ohio counties, a federal jury said in a verdict that could set the tone for local govts. that want to hold pharmacies accountable for their roles in the opioid crisis. https://t.co/kInZ1w8di5

[Chae Yoon Kim @Chae_HST440]

Interesting to read as the specific details about the purchase and the delivery of COVID-19 vaccine for donation to developing countries is unclear. #HST440

As discussed in one of the presentations in class today, vaccine equity is extremely important to address. Focusing on COVID-19 vaccine, the article examines vaccine equity through incorporating subjects such as G20 and Moderna. #HST440

Issue surrounding COVID-19 vaccine booster isn't solely about Canada as it relates to most of the high-income countries in which the majority of the population is already vaccinated against COVID-19. #HST440

While the information on the contracts are considered confidential, I believe that it must be provided to all with transparency as it concerns the health of the general population. #HST440

[Chae Yoon Kim @Chae_HST440]

It should be acknowledged by pharmaceutical companies and governments that the primary goal of developing and manufacturing drugs is for the well-being of health of the general population. Therefore, drugs should be available at affordable price. #HST440

Without appropriately addressing potential risks of prescription drugs, it must be recognized that adequate solutions must be provided by higher authorities to help and to guide those in sufferance rather than to consistently ignore the problems. #HST440

A state judge in California ruled that four drug companies can't be held liable for that state's opioid epidemic. Communities had hoped for tens of billions of dollars in compensation to help ease the addiction crisis. https://t.co/JaCpwGvBHU

The consulting giant was helping Purdue Pharma and Johnson & Johnson fend off FDA regulations even as it helped shape FDA drug policy. https://t.co/vlaXRfvZWD
