On Thursday, Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) asked three health care experts about the dangers of the U.S. health care industry being dependent on China. The experts revealed the chilling and eye-opening fact that communist China could derail America's medical supply chain.
Hawley first turned to Rosemary Gibson, senior advisor at The Hastings Center (a bioethics research institute). "We know China produces about nine percent of our generic drugs, which is a lot," he said. "Do you have any sense of how many of our drugs involve Chinese production?"
"Thousands," Gibson replied. "Thousands of our generic drugs and even some of the brand name products and perhaps even new therapies for coronavirus may depend on the chemicals that are sourced primarily in China."
