(Renee Boucher, eWeek staff writer, “FDA Looks to Technology to Help Secure Drug Supply”, June 15, http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1895,2146950,00.asp)

In 20’04, the FDA identified serialization… of RFID, which frequency standard to adhere to.

drugs rarely reach their destination – in some areas up to 40% is diverted and resold at a price that puts the aid out of reach for the people that need it the most

Thompson, 2k4

Product is projected to meet the needs …small part of the whole picture.

Advantage one: The markets

the grey market is the only channel by which diverters are able to sneak in fake drugs

Yanku, 2k6

(Wyatt, research intern at the American Council on Science and Health, “Counterfeit Drugs: Coming to a Pharmacy Near You,” The American Council on Science and Health, August)

How could this happen? The answer lies in the nature … supply that didn’t also involve drug diverters.

These counterfeit drugs routinely poison the users, multiply the number of infected, proliferate the disease, and empirically makes current drugs ineffective

Yankus, 2k6

This very real and very lethal disease is …be an untreatable and unstoppable calamity.

ADVANTAGE TWO: THE suppliers

Current drugs sold at a low-cost to Africa undermine profits, since the drugs will just be re-sold in Europe to compete with those marketed directly by the companies

Graham, 2k3

(John R., Director of pharmaceutical policy research at The Fraser Institute, “HIV Aid to Africa Will Encounter Obstacles,” The Heartland Institute, Health Care News)

The lack of good governance in health care …the companies that invented the medicines.

Not only do counterfeit products directly compete with legitimate ones, they also harm companies by lowering consumer confidence

With little fanfare, businesses are trying …of profit-making enterprise.

THUS THE PLAN: THE UNITED STATES FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SHOULD MANDATE IMPLEMENTATION OF AN ELECTRONIC PEDIGREE SYSTEM, INCLUDING COMPREHENSIVE SINGLE RADIO FREQUENCY IDENTIFICATION FOR PHARMACEUTICALS SHIPPED TO the topically defined area.

observation two: solvency

Mass serialization via RFID is the single best option available for securing drugs – also, mass serialization is inevitable so you have no offense – only question is if we use effective serialization to secure future drugs or not

FDA, 2k4

(Food and Drug Administration, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, February, “Combating Counterfeit Drugs: A Report of the Food and Drug Administration” http://www.fda.gov/oc/initiatives/counterfeit/report02_’04.html)

Use of mass serialization to uniquely …ensure correct dispensing of prescriptions.

RFID solves African drug diversion—other industries prove

RFID Analyst, 2k3

(Independent journal to concentrate exclusively on RFID, Issue 24, IDTechEx, January)

Drug product diversion is increasing. For example…this months journal for more.

The electronic pedigree -- or "ePedigree" -- is a new feature added to IBM's …do that it becomes uneconomic," he says.

observation three: the dialogue of disease

Our Framework – plan should be weighed against the alternative as a competing policy option

1. fairness – ignoring plan gives the negative an unfair advantage by eliminating the one structural equalizer to the block 2. education – key to critically comparing the value of discourse to policy options 3. You should paradigmatically ignore “Reps come first” arguments – if we win plan is good, then by definition, the representations are inseparable and good 4. Even if representations are important, the actors are still Africans who exist in this social reality and commit human acts, a focus on reps only ignores this interaction.

Mbembe, 2k1

interpretations of fiat as permanent and immediate should be reciprocal – non-recprocality is bad

1. kills ground – legitimizes unpredictable future fiat and counterfactuals – impossible research burden 2. jacks edu – turns topic specific edu into generic debates about timeframe and rollback 3. justifies severing out of the issue piced out of – sandbacking bad

Our Framework – plan should be weighed against the alternative as a competing policy option

1. fairness – ignoring plan gives the negative an unfair advantage by eliminating the one structural equalizer to the block 2. education – key to critically comparing the value of discourse to policy options 3. You should paradigmatically ignore “Reps come first” arguments – if we win plan is good, then by definition, the representations are inseparable and good 4. Even if representations are important, the actors are still Africans who exist in this social reality and commit human acts, a focus on reps only ignores this interaction.
