Four Thieves Vinegar Collective has made DIY medicine cheaper and more accessible to the masses.

Sharing because I found this very interesting.

The Four Thieves Vinegar Collective has a DIY design for a home lab you can set up to reproduce expensive medication for dirt cheap, producing medication like that used to cure Hepatitis C, along with software they developed that can be used to create chemical compounds out of common household materials.

    If stuff like this already happens to the experts.

    Keep in mind that almost all drugs are made in India. There is a huge issue with corporate corruption as well as poverty wages that prevent workers from ever whistleblowing. It’s a disastrous combination. It’s frankly a miracle that things don’t go wrong more often.

    The corruption runs so deep that pharmaceutical factories keep exploding and wiping out whole towns every few years.
