Chain, Chain, Chain: Medication Supply

Posted by Staff on December 7, 2023 - 6:00am

By Karen L. Kier
Pharmacist on behalf of the ONU Healthwise Team 

The Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin, released the song Chain of Fools in 1967. This song from her Lady Soul album hit number one on the Billboard Hot Rhythm & Blues chart and was number two on the top 100. Aretha was awarded a Grammy for this song as the Best Female R&B Vocal Performance. The song is about realizing someone has been unfaithful in a long-term relationship and being one of the fools in the chain. In the song, she predicts the chain will break. 

What does a chain of fools have to do with medications? 

Our drug supply chain has had some significant issues and has resulted in drug shortages and tainted drugs entering the U.S. medication supply. The FDA and other government agencies do not always have the authority or power to control some of these issues.
