its not pants on fire though

2018-10-03 18:52:45 UTC  

politifact actually confirms it......

2018-10-03 18:52:50 UTC  

they just disagreew tih the conclusion

2018-10-03 18:52:57 UTC  

@mer.at from what i gather, the politifacts statement and the statement tim got are not exactly addressing the same point.

2018-10-03 18:53:00 UTC  

yeah the site for the company is here

2018-10-03 18:53:16 UTC  

but the product they show is for Cushings disease

2018-10-03 18:53:24 UTC  

There is a warning because its Mifepristone

2018-10-03 18:53:40 UTC  

this literally all they make?

2018-10-03 18:53:50 UTC  

The antiprogestational effects will result in the termination of pregnancy

2018-10-03 18:53:53 UTC  

Yeah probably

2018-10-03 18:54:03 UTC  

I have a client who makes a single perscription

2018-10-03 18:54:17 UTC  

how common is Cushings or how expensive is this drug?

2018-10-03 18:54:30 UTC  

dunno

2018-10-03 18:54:37 UTC  

I heard someone was using unlicensed memes on this server.

2018-10-03 18:54:59 UTC  

they link to this site

2018-10-03 18:56:20 UTC  

Huh?

2018-10-03 18:56:49 UTC  

GAH!~

2018-10-03 18:57:29 UTC  

Google is simultaneously telling me it's common and rare

"In addition to our work with mifepristone, we have developed over 300 proprietary molecules"

ah, perhaps they make their money through licensing

2018-10-03 18:58:08 UTC  

So what is with ford and cushings?

2018-10-03 18:58:23 UTC  

Are they saying she has skin in the game?

2018-10-03 18:58:40 UTC  

It would tie her to the morning after pill industry

2018-10-03 18:58:48 UTC  

she worked for a company show sellls a drug that treats cushings... which uses an ingredient used in abortions.

2018-10-03 18:58:54 UTC  

Ehhh, kind of a stretch

2018-10-03 18:59:07 UTC  

What drug?

2018-10-03 18:59:19 UTC  

the argument in what tim sent was that it screws with her research

2018-10-03 18:59:21 UTC  

Korlym

2018-10-03 18:59:25 UTC  

so arguably the drug wouldn't exist yet

2018-10-03 18:59:30 UTC  

although, that is the ONLY thing they sell.

2018-10-03 18:59:36 UTC  

at least whatever one she would be researching

2018-10-03 18:59:37 UTC  

at least, officially

2018-10-03 18:59:58 UTC  

they seem more like an R&D firm that licenses their discoveries

Primary usage is for pregnancy termination

"Our ruling
A headline said, "Kavanaugh accuser Christine Blasey exposed for ties to Big Pharma abortion pill maker… effort to derail Kavanaugh is plot to protect abortion industry profits."
Ford worked for a pharmaceutical company that sells Korlym, a drug that treats Cushing’s syndrome. The main ingredient in that drug is used in combination with another drug to induce abortions, but the doses differ. The company does not promote the drug for abortions; in fact, it requires that doctors rule out pregnancy in order to administer the drug.
We rate this statement Pants on Fire!" < Politifact
