Sorry for not being clear. I gave them credit not for shutting up that young doc, but for admitting being wrong and making him into somewhat of a national hero.

Indeed... we most certainly need to - at the very least - diversify our supply chain of meds.

About Huawei... Spengler has been writing about it, I think for at least a year. According to him, all existing alternatives to their 5G technologies are not competitive - which is why even many of our allies went along with Huawei. He was promoting the idea that the government should initiate a private / public effort to develop a competitive alternative. Maybe it’s still something they need to consider.

as far as supply chains go, manufacturing Tshirts and sneakers are one thing, having a big majority of medicine coming from a country with authoritarian 'president for life' regimes is insanity....especially when china has specifically stated it is their goal to overtake the US as a world economic power

What's so maddening about it that pharmaceutical manufacturing doesn't seem like it would be very labor intensive.
