Yea this is what happens when you let manufacturing move overseas. Both parties are equally guilty.

Wait, I thought it was against the law to import prescriptions from outside the US...

For the most part, Drugs sold in the US are manufactured in places like Ireland, and I guess China.
They’re just developed here.

It all depends on who you are.

Haven't we all seen this movie multiple times?

Villain develops super-bug.
Villain releases super-bug to the world.
Villain threatens to withhold the cure from the rest of the world.

You cannot claim to be a victim while trying to extort "fellow" victims.

All this "New World Order" stuff creates a problem such as China contemplating cutting off our medical supplies. We need to have our own factories that produce"stuff" so we don't have to depend on our enemies for essentials. (stuff). What if China would go t war with us? Oh yeah, they manufacture the computer chips we use in a lot of our defense systems...

Way to go big pharma. This is what happens when greed takes priority over national responsibility.
Congress & the pharmaceutical companies are responsible for this 100%. Make moving all pharmaceutical production back to the U.S. a national security matter, and regulate the hell out of the ceos, cfos etc.

Capital goes where it wants. So many folks are snugging-up with Das Capital these days, even on a gun board.
