The United States needs to more self sufficient and start manufacturing the goods we need right here in the U.S.A. and cut our dependence on our enemies and other foreign lands. This includes foreign oil.

Um...antibiotics don't help with virus diseases.

Which begs the question, why is Fox News promoting this?

There's still testing and production to consider. Producing a testable sample is actually the easiest part.

Gee, I thought Don was going to get on that outsourcing thing for us. Did he not have majorities in both houses his first two years in office?

By the way, antibiotics have nothing to do with emerging retro viral pandemics. Being unable to quickly scale up mass RNA extractions a was a jr highish blind spot in terms of national and economic security, leaving US wide open to any retroviral pandemic that might arise. "The Wall" did nothing and neither did resourcing a military presence in 70% of the nations on the planet as we support 73% of the world's dictatorships. Having millions without healthcare coverage should work out really nicely though.

China and India are the two largest producers of low cost antibiotics and many other drugs. Low manufacturing cost and completion between the two are responsible for the low prices we pay for generics. Most of the drugs produced in these two countries are being produced elsewhere but at higher costs. They can be manufactured in the US but at a much higher cost.

There's still testing and production to consider. Producing a testable sample is actually the easiest part.

When a research lab produces a vaccine, it has been tested on mice or other animals to insure it kills the virus without killing the animal. That is just the beginning of a long process of testing, trials, and manufacturing a vaccine that can be administered to millions of people with a minimum of both short and long term side effects.

There are a number of groups working on a vaccine but there is no guarantee that it will be ready before the end of the current outbreak. During the 2002-2003 SARS outbreak, it took about 20 months for a vaccine to be ready to test on people. By then, the outbreak had been contained with public health measures like isolating infected people, setting up quarantines, and identifying people who have come in contact with those who are sick.

Testing the vaccine on people can take many months if not years. No pharmacist company is going to release a vaccine without documented evidence that it is safe. The bottom line is don't expect a vaccine to stop this outbreak of the virus. The measures being implemented to reduce the number of new cases and hopefully a reduction in transmission rates over the summer months may end this outbreak but that does not mean that we have seen the end of this virus.

Apologies, got it, there will be no 2020 corona virus vaccine. Not unless we redo requirements. That's what made Don's questions so revealing. No idea of what clinical trials are or require, no concept of what a double blind study is. Too stupid to stfu and get out of the way. "Well can't you know tomorrow"? No Don, we cannot.

Chinese state media warns it could cut America’s pharmaceutical drug supply

This is probably just saber-rattling(,BULLSHIT, IT WAS PLANNED!) but it’s still a bit worrisome as the U.S. is struggling to deal with a pandemic. A Chinese state media outlet has published an article bragging about the nation’s control over the supply chain of pharmaceutical drugs:

Now that the number of new people infected with the coronavirus in China is slowing down, the country’s Communist Party is ratcheting up threats against the West, with a particularly nasty warning about access to life-saving drugs aimed at the United States.

In an article in Xinhua, the state-run media agency that’s largely considered the mouthpiece of the party, Beijing bragged about its handling of COVID-19, a virus that originated in the city of Wuhan and has spread quickly around the world, killing nearly 5,000 people and infecting thousands more. The article also claimed that China could impose pharmaceutical export controls which would plunge America into “the mighty sea of coronavirus.”…

Though the United States is a global leader in research, much of the manufacturing of life-saving drugs has moved overseas. The last American manufacturing plant to make a key component in penicillin shuttered in 2004. Since then, Chinese pharmaceuticals companies have moved in and taken over, supplying between 80 percent and 90 percent of U.S. antibiotics, 70 percent of acetaminophen and about 40 percent of heparin, according to Yanzhong Huang, a senior fellow for global health at the Council on Foreign Relations.


The concern about Chinese control of the drug supply chain is not new. In fact, months before anyone had heard about the new coronavirus, CNBC published a story titled, “U.S. officials worried about Chinese control of American drug supply.”

American national security officials are worried about that scenario as they come to grips with this little-understood fact: The vast majority of key ingredients for drugs that many Americans rely on are manufactured abroad, mostly in China.

As the U.S. defense establishment grows increasingly concerned about China’s potentially hostile ambitions, the pharmaceutical supply chain is receiving new scrutiny.

“If China shut the door on exports of medicines and their key ingredients and raw material, U.S. hospitals and military hospitals and clinics would cease to function within months, if not days,” said Rosemary Gibson, author of a book on the subject, “China RX.”

Now, just a few months later, we’re seeing just how vulnerable we could be. Tucker Carlson revived the issue this week on his show. He’s been on a run of solid statements regarding the coronavirus this week. Here’s Carlson discussing China’s control over our drug supply chain with Sen. Marco Rubio

Wasn't Don bringing all that home? Why do "free marketeers" rely on communists so heavily again? Oh yeah, they don't want to hire americans, cuts into the profit margin growth to infinity. Don had 2 years with majorities in both houses. MAG Someday?

Being unable to quickly scale up mass RNA extractions is a bipartisan over time jr high level ball drop leaving the nation open to any emerging retroviral pandemic. Can't bomb the fock out of covid-19. Perhaps we should have reprioritized some of that funding that fuels our military presence in 70% of the nations on the planet while supporting 73% of the world's dictators.
