Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., addressed the reliance that the U.S. currently has on China when it comes to key pharmaceutical ingredients, as medical professionals are hoping to stave off the coronavirus pandemic.
Blackburn told "Fox & Friends" Sunday morning that even before the current outbreak, she was pushing legislation to reduce that dependency and increase production in the U.S.
"Many of the pharmaceuticals that are necessary for treating some of these viruses," Blackburn said, "they’re made only in China and we are dependent on them for these -- they’re called APIs, active pharmaceutical ingredients."
Blackburn went on to say that her bill "would incentive bringing that production back on U.S. shores" and "would change some of the legislation around the FDA … that deals with these emerging threats and new technologies and add advanced pharmaceutical manufacturing in this."

Blame FDA, AMA and big Pharma. They are hurting the US since they depend on China and India for medical break throughs and cheap medications. These same areas could be done in the US just as cheap and efficient. Called money / kickbacks while they screw the US tax payer by getting millions of tax dollars with no / late results.

ReplyDeleteHere's a funny. While yall have been cheering on the GOP and giving a blanket Boooo to the Dems, they've both hosed you. Sold you on globalism, and the idea it was ok for the Chinese to make your tee shirts and shoes. Better to let Americans focus on cars, and high tech items like meds. Now look. My point: stop falling for the BS just because you want to root for a party. Get the facts and use your critical thinking skills for once.

Hyundai was making cars down south by 80% robots until the Unions got involved and the prices went sky high. The government this type of monopoly on everything. By making businesses to return to the US we will be paying triple if not more because of the unions and Democrats tax and spend polices.
