The meds shown all contain phenylephrine, marketed as Sudafed PE. The active ingredient in the original "real" Sudafed was pseudoephedrine which was very effective. I took it daily for years for chronic allergies. The problem with pseudoephedrine was that it was chemically close to methamphetamine and the easiest way to make crystal meth was to start with pseudoephedrine. There were problems with stores being bought out of pseudoephedrine, or all stock being stolen, to the point of trailer trucks full of pseudoephedrine being stolen to make meth.
To restrict the supply of meth, access to pseudoephedrine was restricted by either making it prescription-only, or put behind the pharmacy counter with a strict limit of how many mg of pseudoephedrine you could buy each month (they tracked purchases by your driver's license number).
If you suffer from allergies you already know that phenylephrine is useless. I'm happy to see they are acknowledging that fact. The video is misleading in that the other active ingredients in Benadryl (Diphenhydramine HCl antihistamine) and Mucinex (guaifenesin expectorant) are still effective drugs.
I did some research when they were discussing using it a few months ago. What I learned is that using the 25th amendment is by design a slow and time-consuming process. Not enough time to use it between now and Jan 20.
The founding fathers again were prescient in making the process difficult so it would not be used for "light and transient" reasons.
During the protests after Trump's win in 2016, one man was interviewed. He said "Trump is not my president" and the election needed to be overturned.
The reporter asked him if he voted and he said "No". Dumbfounded, she asked hi why not?
He replied, "The media kept telling us Hillary was going to win."
I so badly want to go into that business just to see what stupid smells like.
