Biden administration struck a deal a German company to build a factory in Wisconsin to increase production of COVID-19 testing kits

MilliporeSigma's new factory will pump out 83.3 million tests per month – but the facility won't be operational for another three years

'Construction is expected to begin the second half of 2022 and initial planning and preparatory work is already underway,' a MilliporeSigma spokesperson said They told DailyMail.com: 'We estimate that the facility will be capable of providing lateral flow membranes in the latter part of 2024'

Fuels speculation the administration thinks testing will still be needed in 2025

Does not fix immediate concerns of testing shortages and hours-long lines to get tested for COVID-19 as the Omicron variant sweeps the nation

Biden caught heat Wednesday with news contracts won't be finished 'until next week' for the 500 million at-home tests that he promised

There are still unanswered questions about how the at-home test distribution will work and how long it will take for the tests to arrive once ordered

Why couldn’t that have been an American company?

Biden’s America last program.

I hope Hunter at least sold a painting for your betrayal.

Apparently with a wink and a nod, Ferar Fascist Fauci told Brandon it’s a solid investment even being three years out.

Oh man.

I really think this all blows apart soon.

If it does, this will make him look like an idiot. Some more.

These things take time, I bet the contracting team has been working on this for a while. It was probably too late to put the brakes on.

What a waste of time and money. The tests are not accurate enough to even be relied upon for anything.
