I agree with the poster here who said he should announce a “Marshall Plan” type operation to bring all drug manufacturing back to the US.

Ditto.

An essential step IMO. Its insanity to allow our country to be so vulnerable. Why put such a powerful weapon in an adversary’s hands? Madness.

Yup.

It will have to be done if we are to fight this or any other disease.

Imagine if there were a war. Even IF the war wasn’t with China or India we would still be faced with the extra issues involved in importing necessary medicines from half a world away.

And it gives the other countries unecessary say in our political moves. ‘we don’t like this trade agreement, we’ll just half your shipments of antibiotics’.

One approach is for the Pentagon to start a crash program to accumulate a strategic stockpile of antibiotics and all other drugs needed--using 100% "BUY AMERICA" approach.

VA could do the same thing.

This would be analogous to the 1980s edict from GSA that all government computer purchases must be compatible with TCP/IP protocol, which greatly accelerated the growth of the Internet.

Tom Donahue from the Chamber of Commerce would remove his monocle and beat our Reps and Senators until they bleed if they seriously considered such a #MAGA move.
