Our Pharmaceutical vulnerability

A nation that cannot make its own essential medicines is a nation living on borrowed security

President Trump has recently signed a new proclamation to swiftly accelerate the onshoring of pharmaceutical manufacturing — one of America’s most strategically vulnerable sectors.

America’s vulnerability runs across all three stages of the medicine-making process. That begins with the raw ingredients, known as key starting materials; extends to the active pharmaceutical ingredients in the second stage; and finally it includes finished dosage forms, such as tablets, capsules, and injectables.

Today, more than half of the branded pharmaceuticals distributed in America are manufactured overseas. Upstream dependence is sharper still. Only 11 percent of active pharmaceutical ingredients manufacturers are in the U.S., compared with 22 percent in China and 44 percent in India. And of all patented active pharmaceutical ingredients sold in the U.S., only 15 percent by volume are made here.

America’s vulnerability runs deeper still at the front end of the supply chain, where more than 40 percent of the key starting materials used in U.S.-approved pharmaceuticals are sole-sourced from China and another 16 percent from India.

While America still leads the world in pharmaceutical discovery, it no longer controls enough of the industrial base to turn that discovery into secure supply. We have become a design-and-discovery superpower with a hollowed-out production base.

The left will weaponize power to crush opposition

Rogan Drops Bombshell—Two Ex-Presidents Tried to Silence Him!

From hydroxychloroquine to Covid lockdown skepticism, Trump was right—and the so-called “experts” were wrong. The same media that mocked Trump now looks foolish as Rogan exposes their corruption.

The left’s censorship machine is crumbling. Americans are waking up, rejecting the propaganda, and demanding truth. As Rogan put it: “I kind of liked it better when I didn’t think the world is filled with demons, money-hungry demons that are willing to sacrifice human lives in the pursuit of revenue.”

Joe Rogan’s explosive revelation that two former U.S. presidents pressured Spotify to censor his COVID-19 views exposes the depths of the liberal establishment’s fear of free speech.

In a recent episode with Dr. Mary Talley Bowden, Rogan detailed how the political and media elite conspired to silence dissenting voices during the pandemic. “Spotify got calls from two former presidents,” he revealed, confirming what many conservatives have long suspected: the left will weaponize power to crush opposition.

Despite the censorship attempts, Rogan’s audience grew by two million subscribers in a month, proving that Americans crave truth, not the manufactured narratives of the corporate media. The liberal media’s smear campaign backfired—instead of silencing him, they amplified his message.

Rogan also slammed the media’s dishonest attacks on ivermectin, which they maliciously labeled as “horse dewormer” to discredit its potential benefits.

His disillusionment mirrors the frustration of millions of Americans who’ve watched the media lie, manipulate, and fearmonger for years.

Endangered species being used in pharmaceuticals in China

Several Chinese Companies List Endangered Animals As Ingredients

I thought this was interesting in the simple fact that China has little regard to life in general. It is all a means to an end.

A surprising environmental investigation has recently uncovered three publicly traded Chinese pharmaceutical companies that use endangered animals as product ingredients.

The EIA’s report has not only exposed this environmental wrongdoing but has also called upon global investors in these Chinese pharmaceutical firms, some of whom include major financial institutions such as UBS and HSBC, to divest from their stakes.

Twitter user Data Fox, whose bio says he works in data science, claimed in a tweet that U.S. reliance on Chinese biopharmaceutical exports represents a threat to national security. “Something like 90% of pharma products manufactured in China.

Biden buys Anti-Radiation Medicine

Why Did Biden Just Buy 290 Million Dollars’ Worth Of Anti-Radiation Medicine

The Biden Administration appears to be bracing for something big.

After Putin’s recent nuclear threats, the U.S. purchased $290 million in anti-radiation drugs.

This comes just as Biden allegedly warned that the United States could be on the brink of nuclear “Armageddon.”

"The purchase of Nplate is one of many drugs that the U.S. government has bought to stockpile in case of a variety of naturally occurring and intentionally engineered threats, including chemical accidents or nuclear attacks. In total, the government invested $900 million in the fiscal year 2021 in chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear medical countermeasures."

Medical journal editor ousted over podcast defending profession against claims of ‘structural racism’

In the latest example drawing widespread criticism, a doctor associated with a leading medical journal was reportedly pressured to resign after airing a podcast that defended his profession from claims that it is inherently racist.

The JAMA editor went on to promote the podcast with a tweet declaring: “No physician is racist, so how can there be structural racism in health care?”
