When Joe DeMayo’s donated kidney started to fail earlier than expected, he didn’t know that the drug he was taking could’ve left him vulnerable — and that one of the most formidable drug regulators in the world may have failed to protect him.

@ProPublica
You have to expect things like this in a third world shithole such as the USA.

@ProPublica My wife had a transplanted kidney and pancreas for 29 years. She has on Gengraf for decades but was switched to tacrolimus after 27 years. Her kidney failed, but it could have been something else. Covid elixirs prescribed during the pandemic, a virus, or it was just time. I wish I still had a tacrolimus bottle to see the source.
