Cannot deliver med in crimson pox era

[pendell]

So here I am in the crimson pox era.  There is a planet below with "First infections" rumor. I drop in with a load of basic medicine in the hope of ending the rumor.  

They won't take it.  

It seems that the planet is in a trade ban, and I'm trying to remember whether the basic medicine I was bringing was from the same faction or the cross-faction, but in either event I could not sell the meds AT ALL.  

Fortunately, I was able to find an alternate source and break the plague, but the rumor text suggests this was not the intended effect. 

Respectfully,

Yes, that is sometimes the case. Faction politics are petty and while the people suffer, the rulers may make the law that they won't take medicines from such and such a faction.
