Are we unfairly holding the drug industry to standards that most NATO countries don't apply for their defense contributions? Read my latest column in #PharmaceuticalCommerce.

At a time of growing instability in the #Mideast, the threat posed by #Iran's weaponization of pharmaceutical based chemical agents cannot be ignored. In a new report for CTC Sentinel, Institute expert Matthew Levitt examines the dangers posed by weaponized PBA's and concerns that Iran may have provided to its partners and proxies. #middleeast #report #tehran

The importance of #synthetic drugs is increasingly recognized, as evidenced by its prominent place on the agenda of this week's Commission on Narcotic Drugs (#CND67). The CND will explore various critical aspects, including international responses to synthetic drugs and their precursors, regional challenges, .e.g. in East Africa, legal issues surrounding new psychoactive substances (NPS), and strategies for managing synthetic drugs in air cargo and ports. Join us in following the discussion on the urgent challenge of synthetic drugs at the #CND67. This is an opportunity to engage with experts and leaders, and to contribute to shaping multilateral responses to this global issue. 📑 Follow the program and be part of the solution from anywhere in the world https://lnkd.in/dv3rqSxb

The White House recently announced major new and intensified efforts to address fentanyl and other synthetic drugs, which are so tragically impacting U.S. citizens and people around the world. Efforts involve intelligence, disruption, enforcement, international cooperation (including with countries such as PRC and Mexico, and through global efforts such as the Global Coalition to Address Synthetic Drug Threats, https://lnkd.in/erY2ZSXc), and intensified effort and coordination within the USG. https://lnkd.in/eq5kiwK9.

When a leading global pharmaceutical company received bomb threats targeting their research facilities, operations were immediately halted, with safety a top priority. To mitigate risk and resume production, this leading pharmaceutical company turned to Allied Universal and MSA Security for an effective and swift solution. Read the case study here to learn more about how MSA's Explosive Detection Canine Teams successfully addressed this high-consequence threat. https://lnkd.in/gtHu_3Bn #MSASecurity#EmergencyResponse#SecurityConsultants#CanineSecurity#ExplosiveDetection#XrayScreening#CBRNEThreat#HostileSurveillance#SafetyFirst#Counterterrorism#SecurityMeasures#ProtectingCrowds#PublicSafety#ThreatMitigation#SecurityProfessionals#SafetyAwareness#SecurityCaseStudy

Looking forward to our side event on using scientific information for #EarlyWarning on #drug-related threats, at the Commission on Narcotic Drugs #CND2024, with experts from #Indonesia, #Switzerland, #DominicanRepublic, #Canada. In a globalized world, all early warning is local and global. That's why we collaborate with and support national early warning systems, creating two-way flows of information with our global #UNODC Early Warning Advisory.

Join us tomorrow, June 26, during the 14th Annual Pharma Anti-Counterfeiting, Serialization and Supply Chain Security 2024 where SMC’s Asmita Khanolkar, Senior Director, SMC Pharmaceutical Services will join the panel discussion - “Building resilient supply chains in the evolving Pharma environment” with expert panelists from Sanofi, SMC, SICPA and Ten Count consulting. https://hubs.ly/Q02DjFFH0

"To show our steadfast commitment to fighting against this pernicious and expanding threat, we will instruct relevant ministers to work on strengthening international cooperation on this critical issue, raise public awareness, facilitate non-discriminatory and voluntary access to drug-related prevention and treatment services, and coordinate enforcement efforts. We encourage all countries concerned by the threat posed by illicitly manufactured and distributed synthetic drugs to join the Global Coalition to Address Synthetic Drug Threats and to undertake measures arising from its workstreams and recommendations. We also call on all countries to take appropriate action to counter this deadly scourge, including justice and law enforcement action against illicit precursor suppliers, transnational criminal organizations, and their enablers."

If there is one thing that an American leftist loves, its ranting and raving about American military aid to Israel. They are absolutely obsessed with the idea that Israel wouldn't exist without American military aid. Even many American Jews have been brainwashed to think the same thing. Just one little problem with that obsession....it couldn't be farther from the truth! Take a look at the article below about TEVA, an Israeli leader in the world of Big Pharma. As the article notes, TEVA has had a rough few years, and is not what it once was. EVEN NOW, the company is valued at $16 billion or FOUR TIMES annual American military aid to Israel (Israel gets about $4 Billion annually) Yes, you read correctly, JUST ONE Israeli publicly traded company DWARFS the annual aid that Israel gets from the US. And yet, everyone, including the US government, seems to operate under the assumption that the US owns Israel in exchange for military aid. We can always expect the left to make up whatever lies they want about Israel. But why are so many Jews under the mistaken impression that $4 billion in military aid is a lot of money to Israel? It's not. Maybe its time for us to embrace the "dirty truth" about Israel. The little country has become a giant in the world of innovative business, and she doesn't need anybody to pay her bills. #Zionism #Zionist #Israel #StandwithIsrael

#veterans are in desperate need of our support for #cannabismedicine. It's one of the reasons we align with Veterans Community Project and provide #educationbeforemedication. It's time we provide access to #plantmedicine to our service men and women. Check out the post from Marijuana Moment about military attitudes toward #legalization. https://lnkd.in/gjWfCQbf?
