The Western nations, under the thrall of the WEF and their elites, have become primarily service economies, manufacturing very little. They stupidly rely on BRICS nations, Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, to supply stuff to us. And BRICS nations are in an economic war with the WEF nations so, starving us out, whether its food, EV car batteries, rare earths or medicines is smart. Who are smart? The BRICS nations, putting their nations first. When we had Trump we put America first and were smart, too.

Most of our drugs are apparently manufactured in China. China is apparently still struggling with their Wuhan virus outbreak. I guess they don't have ivermectin or HCQ there. We need to bring ALL prescription drug manufacturing back to the USA.

Sen. Klobuchar - why is there only one (1) licensed manufacturer of the antibiotic in the US? But you can also get the antibiotic from China - how convenient. Please clarify Amy? Why?

This witch, with a capital B, is running for President in 2024, thus calling for this. The same idiots that drove the US pharma companies out of the company with taxes and threats, now want them back. I remember in the 80's when all the manufacturing was shipped down to Puerto Rico for tax breaks.

I have viral bronchitis which has been hanging on for over a week and I was just given a couple of prescriptions, one of which is “unavailable”, according to the pharmacy. This isn’t the first time that that has happened in the last couple of months. Amy is approaching the wrong people. She needs to go harass the guy who is currently napping in a mansion on Nantucket Island.

RSV is a virus.Its cells are coated with proteins, which means amoxicillin is worthless in \treating RSV. Amoxicillin is also perhaps the most over prescribed drug - physicians admit that the parents often demand it. RSV was first diagnosed in 1901. It is not some new Kung Flu. And RSV is so common, most babies by age 2 have had it. It is not quite the common clold, but close to it. I read t,he treatment options, and there are few. (It is worth a google to verify what I am saying.) Amoxicillin would only be useful where the patient had a secondary bacterial infection.

As a Democrat, Amy should know that China is working 27 hours a day to keep up with fentanyl production, so there's no more time to work on REAL medicines. We may have to find American companies willing to take on the mundane medical needs of this nation.

Progressive for these purposes is a bedraggled coalition of elements that are no longer comfortable with each other: the militantly anti-white African Americans, the “woke” pseudo-academic America-haters, and what’s left of the tired old Joe Biden-style Democratic machine establishment.

Former GOP House Speaker Paul Ryan is offering two reasons why GOP voters should walk away from President Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential primary campaign. “We want to win,” the establishment champion told ABC News’ This Week on November 20. Trump “is going to continue to lose altitude” in primary polls because “he’s unelectable because [of] that suburban voter.” The second reason offered by Ryan is his own alternative 2024 White House platform. That platform breaks from Trump’s mostly-populist policies and offers voters a series of healthcare cuts, more wage-cutting migrants, new carbon taxes, and lower taxes for corporate investors. “I have presidential-sized policy ambition, but I really don’t have presidential-sized personal ambition,” said Ryan,

It’s a survival story that appears to be made for the movies. The Carnival cruise ship Valor reported on Thanksgiving day that a passenger had gone overboard. His sister reported him missing around 8 a.m. but hadn’t seen him since he left a bar to use the restroom around 11 p.m. the previous evening. At that point, the U.S. Coast Guard got involved. The ship turned around and retraced its route hoping to find the unidentified man. Eventually, Valor continued on its way with no sign of the man. The Coast Guard conducted an intensive search, alerting all vessels in the area to the emergency. The Coast Guard resources included
