A cancer drug developed by Chinese scientists and recently approved by the American Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will cost over 30 times more in the United States than in China, with two other Chinese cancer drugs set to experience similar price bumps in the US market.
However, even with the huge price mark-up in America, the Chinese cancer drugs will still be priced significantly less than similar drugs sold in the US.
On Monday, California-based Coherus Biosciences, which partnered with Shanghai Junshi Biosciences to market their Toripalimab drug, revealed the price of Loqtorzi, the name it is marketed under in the US.
In China, the cost of a single-dose vial of Toripalimab is around 2,000 yuan (US$280), according to Chinese cancer informational websites. The wholesale cost of a single-dose vial in the US will be US $8,892.03, Coherus wrote in a filing to the US Securities and Exchange Commission on Monday. The American price is more than 31 times the price of the same drug marketed in China.
China calls for people to ‘minimise personal movement and visits’ as respiratory illness cases surge.
The raised price will still be 20 per cent less than Keytruda, America’s top selling PD-1 antibody drug – a type of inhibitor that helps keep the immune system in check – according to the FiercePharma analysis website.
In China, the price of the drug is based on enrolment into the national healthcare insurance system, and is not its wholesale price.
By the end of last year, 95 per cent of Chinese citizens were enrolled in the system with basic coverage – nearly universal access – according to the National Medical Insurance Administration.
The drug price spike is comparable to the illicit cocaine market. US media reports the American street value is 40 times that of the price in Colombia where the narcotic originates.

WEF Bureaucrat Calls for Military to Vaccinate Public: ‘No Science’
A powerful European Union (EU) bureaucrat has called on governments around the world to stop trying to explain “the science” to their citizens and start using the military to vaccinate the public instead.
The EU’s European Research Council President Maria Leptin, a World Economic Forum (WEF) agenda contributor, argues that trying to explain to citizens why they should get vaccinated was a failure during the Covid pandemic.
During a WEF panel discussion, Leptin declared that governments should stop trying to convince the public to take the vaccines and just call in the military and “religious establishment.”
Joining Leptin on the panel were Moderna CEO Stéphane Bancel, WEF Executive Committee member Shyam Bishen, former CEO of Bill Gates’s GAVI and co-creator of COVAX Seth F. Berkley, and Harvard’s Michelle Williams.
But believes that the science behind vaccines shouldn’t be explained and members of the public should, instead, be railroaded into taking the injection by their government.
According to Leptin, vaccination campaigns shouldn’t be carried out with informed consent.
Instead, they should be forced onto populations by manipulative or coercive means, the unelected Eurocrat insists.
Presumably, this tactic is most useful when evidence-based science doesn’t support “the science” and populations are likely to challenge it.
While laying out her case, Leptin explains that nations with the highest uptake of vaccines were the ones whose didn’t governments didn’t waste time on “getting their citizens to try and understand the science.”
“One is Bhutan,” she noted.

Pentagon data shows heart failure spiked nearly 1,000% among pilots in 2022: whistleblower
Lieutenant Ted Macie says he found major spikes in several heart-related ailments over the previous five-year average among pilots, including heart failure (973%) and cardiomyopathy (152%)
New data from the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) provides further evidence that the COVID-19 shots carry significant health risks, including multiple heart issues.
Lieutenant Ted Macie is an active-duty officer with the U.S. Navy Medical Service Corps who serves as a health administrator and medical recruiter. His wife Mara Macie is running for Congress in Florida’s Fifth District. Both have been speaking out against the Pentagon’s COVID jab mandate and its treatment of service members who objected.
In a video uploaded to social media, Lt. Macie cited a July letter from U.S. Undersecretary of Defense for Personnel & Readiness Gilbert Cisneros Jr. acknowledging the authenticity of previously exposed data from the Pentagon’s Defense Medical Epidemiology Database (DMED), which shows that 2021 saw drastic spikes in a variety of diagnoses for serious medical issues over the previous five-year average, including hypertension (2,181%), neurological disorders (1,048%), multiple sclerosis (680%), Guillain-Barre syndrome (551%), breast cancer, (487%), female infertility (472%), pulmonary embolism (468%), migraines (452%), ovarian dysfunction (437%), testicular cancer (369%), and tachycardia (302%).
That data was first brought to light in January 2022 by attorney Thomas Renz during a COVID shot hearing arranged by U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI). At the time, Defense Health Agency’s Armed Forces Surveillance Division spokesman Peter Graves attempted to dismiss the data’s significance by claiming that a conveniently timed “data corruption” glitch made the pre-2021 numbers appear far lower than the actual numbers of cases for those years, an explanation that left-wing “fact-checking” outfit PolitiFact took at face value.
In his July letter to Sen. Johnson, Cisneros acknowledged that Pentagon officials’ attempts to replicate the whistleblower analysis found “similar” results but argued that the cause “was more likely to be infection and not COVID-19 vaccination,” given 2021 case rates of 69.8 among those with prior infection but just 21.7 among the jabbed. However, Johnson noted that that analysis did not include data for members who were both jabbed and infected, prompting the undersecretary to admit the data was incomplete.
