My theory is that most OTC cold and flu meds contain Phenylephrine and if this ingredient is deemed unsafe it could clear the shelves just in time for cold and flu season. With a lack of OTC meds, people will seek alternatives which likely would involve a COVID test, jab, and super scary death sniffles. Then it's drop boxes and absentee ballots out the whazoo. Sudafed is available behind the counter but supply chain issues will result. Just a dummies theory.
Phenylephrine is garbage. It's totally ineffective. It was put on the shelves when they put Sudafed under the counter. I assume you're not old enough to remember when Nyquil and other cold medicines actually worked? Before phenylephrine. Just get you some Sudafed and stash it. Another very effective herbal that works great for me is Umcka. I prefer the liquid drops but they have chewables, cough syrup, etc. You can get it at Amazon or your local health food store.
Next: remember when Bandaids actually didn't fall off as soon as you put them on because they stuck to skin? Remember when they stuck so well you'd rip them off fast to avoid pain?
I'm old enough to remember being able to buy paregoric. I'm just thinking if they remove all the OTC cold and flu meds people will seek a pharmacist or MD. Once under the care of a jab happy practitioner, it's 2020s shenanigans all over again. And maybe that's the plan. Just in time to roll out the drop boxes, lockdowns, mandates, etc.
I'd agree if they were getting rid of something that works but they're not. Apparently people have been after them for years to dump this stuff and they're finally doing it. I don't trust the FDA as far as I could throw them but I don't think they're up to hanky panky here.
