Yay! Maybe the more people who know how big pharma preys upon the populace with no concern to the harms they cause, the more careful pharma will have to be. No one wants medicines that aren't safe! Hold them accountable the same as you would a doctor performing malpractice!

We already do! So much of our medicines are outsourced to China for production and distribution. Remember all the shortages during covid? Basic supplies and medicines. Maybe the new government will get things made back here in the US again. That would be nice.

As a foreigner, I have absolutely no right to interfere in American affairs, but I will risk giving advice - do not go down this path under any circumstances. Any country that is at least somewhat large and serious, especially the United States, must have its own supply industry, independent of anyone except the Americans. Otherwise, you will have to depend on the mood of foreign politicians, the state of their healthcare, economy, depend on logistics, exchange rate and so on. And, naturally, they will supply you with what is worse, and what is better - they will first keep for themselves. Do not go down this path under any circumstances.

In addition, excessive reliance on foreign goods brings unemployment, because if domestic production is closed, there will be no jobs.

Why am I so confident in this - I am a citizen of Russia, where in the 90s they were very reluctant to have any of their own industry, citing the fact that "why should we produce something if it can be bought abroad." The results of such a policy were not just bad, they were horrific. Mass unemployment, shortages of goods and a gradual transition of life to some kind of Middle Ages, where everything had to be done and invented manually.
Do not go down this path under any circumstances.

I apologize for butting into your conversation with my foreign opinion, but I could not help but voice it.

Although, of course, it might be easier for me as a foreigner - we'll destroy the American pharmaceutical industry, and then force them to buy vaccines from Putin for rubles. And to find these rubles - sell American goods for next to nothing to Russia.
Or to China, but to China... China has an overabundance of its own goods, they won't buy anything.

I apologize again. I just warned you against the mistakes made in their time by the Soviet Union, which, as we know, no longer exists.
Take care of your industry, even if it sometimes makes some mistakes.

No apologies needed, all are welcome.

I haven't believed official statements like this in a long time, because I once did.
