Everyone crying about lack of supplies. Everyone crying about no DPA enaction. Then we address these issues and suddenly its backwards thinking. Please. If you want to convince yourself that exporting these supplies in vast quantities gets us more over time so be it, but it won't, especially in the short term when it matters most. No one is going to care about tit for tats effects months down the road. Countries should be following this model and addressing their own needs first. Just like the states. Federal government distributing ventilators as needed like they said. It's the same thing.
We..
Everyone..
ok.
go back and was stated earlier . How business is actually done.
Fact - US imports more life savings drugs than any other country.
No one will care if France or Germany decides to return the favor?
Yo know anyone of the 7.5 million Americans that need insulin daily?
You know of anyone with stage4 cancer that needs chemo?
The world isnt a vacuum.
But you believe what non factual fantasy you want to believe.
But what f*** do I know. My job is to direct logistics for big pharma for this stuff worldwide.
Just chartered a FedEx flight Boston to Dublin this morning to send 7 batches of Plaquenil Drug substance to start clinical there, Frankfurt and in Le Trait .
The same as we got in Brigham & Womans to treat our own that I got from Canada.
Canada! Where the stockpile is. Fact. My job was to get it here.
In the mean time the good old USA barely produces any drugs that it needs to keep its citizens alive.
So sure. Stick to those countries and millions of Americans sure as shit better pray they arent the vengeful type.
