It's not the same. It's a higher quality image. It also seems like someone colored in their lab suits yellow.

I made no claims about not having the author's name. I'm just providing a convenient link to more of their content.

Planet Money podcast did a bit where they followed up with people who fell for buying cheap pharmaceuticals from spam emails.

The assumption was that people paid the too good to be true prices, and then never got anything in the mail.

The weird twist was that everyone interviewed was really satisfied with the product they received.

Now, all disclaimers certainly apply: don't trust a spammer with your life, there's nothing to stop imitator scammers from joining the legitimate?! spammers, and people's satisfaction is a poor measure of drug safety and efficacy.

But it does seem like a sign that someone is doing some of this already.

Won't anyone please think of the shareholders? Without the monopolies they pay lobbyists to maintain, nobody would ever invent anything. There's literally no other way; I checked and none of them are profitable at all.

You know, I’m almost 40, a big reader, and have seen and heard “illicit” my whole life.

I think this is the first time I’ve ever seen anyone use licit, and that’s fascinating.

You might buy from an illicit source at full price if the genuine product was outright denied.

What would lead to someone being outright denied to buy medication, even if they pay with their own money?

Given the world of BB, he would exchange some key components of the drug with some household stuff, and end up with a cancer drug that is "like, 100% pure, bitch".

You're not from America, are you?

[rumschlumpel@feddit.org]

No. I would be surprised if every American knew the answer, though. People tend to be ignorant about things they didn't personally experience.
