If we learn nothing else from the Covid-19 pandemic, we should learn the lesson that we cannot have most of our serious pharmaceuticals made in third world countries. This is especially true of China which appears to be our most serious global adversary.
China briefly threatened to hold up drug supplies, something which could get ugly fast. I'll bet they didn't threaten to stop selling fentanyl to the Mexican cartels to smuggle in to our addicts.
If China wants to make our non-prescription headache and antihistamine pills, no problem. Antibiotics, antivirals, and steroids are another story, no way we should lose control of those and other serious prescription meds. Let's bring the manufacture of our prescription meds back home, it's a national security issue.
