TLDR; GQP in Oklahoma fell for Trump’s lie about hydroxy, had to get a refund.

A majority of Oklahoma is GQP. Do not pity then but isolate that cancer.
Minterfresh
Why are they able to do that? No due cause needed?
butterflybuttler221
Im happy for the citizens of Oklahoma but I really do wish the gov officials had some repercussions for their dumbassery
bekindtoanimals
Many in OK are refusing the vaccine. Idiots
kruttlapp
Has anything this man ever got behind at any point planned out for shareholders, interests or the population? Serious question.

And yet the plane tickets I purchased a year ago disappear into thin air...

i can think of a few better uses for that money
MeowWoof
I can think of better uses for the medicine rather than sitting in a wearhouse for a year.

There’s a reason you don’t often hear Oklahoma in the same sentence as “scientific breakthrough”

shouldve made OK eat that shit . Dumb bastards

This country fucking sucks. Why do people follow trump? Who can be that fucking stupid. Leaving when i can
mikeatc
Unfortunately the Republicans are still on the hook for a million pairs of these
UncleMeaty
Thankfully there is a money back guarantee.
Tsunamix
Should not have refunded them. Or, at the very least, only refunded at a reduced rate. OK deserved to get screwed for being fking idiots.
Scarsn
I agree. If you don't follow the science you pay for whatever snail oil you fancy.
sirfanciesadrought
Another reminder of what a piece of shit he was.
tyrpestdeath
I wonder how many people died because of this bullshit.

Lupus patients were unable to fill their medications bc of stunts like this. That drug is used for a variety of uses

Of course, it's a pro Trump state. How stupid can they be? Don't answer that.

Don’t worry. We already did something stupid again by banning the teaching of critical race theory. Thanks Kevin Shitt

Kevin is nothing but a bunch of bullstitt.
RedDirt3D
As not just a citizen of Oklahoma, but a teacher as well, fuck him.
xavierjmole
Same here. On all three counts

People toom this but still won't get the vaccine.
wadatahmydamie
Yup. Republicans are pretty dumb.

Whatever happened to the capitalist "Caveat Emptor" saying? Refund? Did the product not cure malaria? Oh, you tried using it for something
kailord
other than malaria? Tough shit. That violates Ts&Cs.
StyrofoamHarpo
The warm weather will kill it if the bleach won't...i mean that's just science people
FDBMed
They should have to eat the money and give the pills back to so people that need the shit can take it...
redditmcredditface
thats good for taxpayers, but what dipshit ever approved the purchase in the first place?
TupacAintDead
GlenL
Were they able to get a refund for the syringes of bleach too?
mth5221
Save it for the next statewide malaria epidemic. F'in idiots.

Stupid motherfuckers

To avoid banning ire, I would say Dmb Cnts describes it better.

Are soon refunded?

I drive through Oklahoma twice a year and I swear the anti-abortion and "Believe in Jesus" billboards are multiplying among themselves.
LucianoIntorno
I fucking hate living in this stupid ass state. It's such a damned embarrassment, but the people here are too stupid to feel shame.
wherethehorriblethingsare
I guess good on the supplier for being willing to refund it?
bekindtoanimals
I wouldn’t have. Fuck around and find out, stupid twats
NickRivieraMD
They got to make money on the money in the meantime.
ThePunishersVengefulBrother
There's a shortage and people actually need it to survive.
wherethehorriblethingsare
Ah, so most likely they're able to turn around and resell it for more. I rescind my positive appraisal of the medical supplier.
OmgOptimized
I mean... they rushed to be first in line to receive it, before it was confirmed to work, and then they want a refund? They're lucky 1/2
OmgOptimized
they got to eat the cake and then keep it. 2/2

seregsarn
Having worked in this industry I suspect the arrangement makes it all upside for the supplier. There's a very interesting network of 1/
seregsarn
Contracts in the industry that determine the handling of distribution of drugs. If anyone is getting screwed in this deal it is probably 2/
seregsarn
The distributor, who is in a legal vicegrip regarding sales, so large unexpected returns can really hurt them. 3/3
seregsarn
(On the other hand they should have guessed this would all end up returned in the end, so they're probably prepared for this.) 4/3
whatpassesforclever
Tons of it needed where Malaria is a real issue, probably just eating the shipping costs at worst.
hadtochangemyusernamecauseIgotdivorced
Nah. Should've taken a "sucks to suck" approach.
veteransgrow
That sounds so smart! You know what screw all the tax paying citizens in Oklahoma. I’m sure there’s no other programs that could use that
veteransgrow
Make all the citizens suffer, because the politicians in Oklahoma were to busy on there knees sucking off the Cheeto. And literally ignored
veteransgrow
Every public and private health official who said it didn’t work and not to take it
NimbleStampcrab
I'm from a red state too, so no hate, but if the tax paying VOTERS would quit sucking off the GOP they wouldn't have these problems.
Covidnineteen
It caused a shortage in medicine for those who needed it
itslikesomesortofneutronbomb
Yes but then the people that actually need it will be screwed. It’s used for other diseases legitimately
RandomlyAppointedNSAAgent
Can they use the medicine after distributing it like that? I guess it should be fine as long as unopened.
NimbleStampcrab
They purchased it a year ago. Shelf life & storage conditions are important. It's probably still good, but it's not ideal.
darthnerdus6236
Pretty sure pharmaceutical companies already adopted the 'sucks to suck' approach about access to drugs a long time ago.
