TL;DW:
Due to various molecular configurations (aka polymorphs), currently known medicines when contaminated with a catalyst seed molecule/particle can become irreversibly unreproducible via chained-contaminations.
- the contamination can cause the existing configurations to become more stable in a negative fashion where the medicine/compounds no longer work they way we expect them to.
This system of contamination and reproduction acts in similar fashion to viral infections.
Current Solutions:
- better clean room procedures for all steps of medicine manufacturing.
- pour more money into medicine polymorph research.
I can see why people would want to throw their hands up and attribute this effect to satan, sounds infuriating to try to debug this sort of problem without anything to go on
I don’t think the people who are prone to attribute things to Satan have much overlap with the people who work in or adjacent to pharmaceuticles. Also, what do you mean “without anything to go on”, we know exactly what’s going on. That’s why we’re talking about it.
