Due to the continued lunatic hysteria surrounding the coronavirus, the United States now faces shortages of critical drugs and medicines.
Even as the spread of the coronavirus in the United States has increased shortages of critical medicines, the federal government has failed so far to provide members of Congress with crucial information about the nation’s drug supply and the scope of potential shortages.
Democratic Sen. Gary Peters, the ranking member of the Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee, was raising alarms about the drug supply even prior to the pandemic. The U.S. medical system is already facing shortfalls in protective equipment, ventilators and coronavirus tests, but now Peters says drug shortages are set to become even more acute.
“The drug shortage is right on the heels of all this. It is coming up. It’ll be the next thing,” Peters said in an interview with Yahoo News on Wednesday.
In December, before cases of COVID-19, the illness caused by the coronavirus, were reported in China, the Democratic staff on Peters’s committee compiled a report on “cost, supply and security threats” to the nation’s inventory of prescription drugs. The report concluded “active drug shortages in the United States” were “at their highest levels in almost five years” due to multiple factors including diminished U.S. manufacturing capacity and “overdependence on foreign pharmaceutical supply chains.” Those existing issues have all been exacerbated by the coronavirus crisis.
That last paragraph pretty much encapsulates the biggest part of the problem. Our treasonous politicians for the past several decades decided to outsource much of our manufacturing base to China and other foreign countries. Now that we have this virus situation, getting drugs and medicines is proving difficult because they’re not made in our own country.
I hope all the retards that approved these policies which outsourced our manufacturing to foreign countries are very happy with the hell they’ve created. I sincerely hope that these same people end up dead over the policies they championed. It would be very fitting if that were to happen.
