For a while, early in the AIDS crisis, some doctors were recommending HIV+
persons get a smallpox vaccination to activate the immune system to better
fight off the HIV virus. So there must be stock plies of the vaccine still
available.
Recently ACTH has been unavailable. And several other medications. Rumors
said all available stocks were being diverted to military use, were held up
by paper work problems, were no longer available in the US because older
medications were not economic to manufacture and pass regulations, etc.
Makes you wonder if your doctor can really make the best medical decision
for you.
I wonder how much you would have to howl to get access to proper medications
or if they were available from other countries.
