We Cannot Become More Gullible or Perhaps We Can.

Several years ago, every time I got one of my blood pressure medicines refilled, I noticed pill size and color would often change from the last perscription. My pharmacist explained that likely a different company had the manufacturing contract. A few years later, my pharmacist called to tell me that I should cease taking a 2-in-1 blood pressure pill because of a real health reaction concern...as in cancer causing. Hold these thoughts, if you will please?!

There are endless things President Trump says about China that is poppycock bullcrap. Of course, Trump is a good friend with Xi Jinping as he is with other dictators, ei., Russia's Putin and North Korea's Kim Jong-in. One moment he talks about how China has taken advantage of the United States and Trump's going to straighten all that crap out. Next minute he's pounding his chest about how good a trade deal he made with China...of course we have not heard positive comments from American farmers. Then Trump pretends to be a hard-Ass about China at his coronavirus press briefings where he gives little info about the pandemic, shows minimal empathy for virus victims but quickly turns the briefing into a campaign rally bashing the media, Former President Obama, Democratic governors and Joe Biden. Pay Attention Evangelicals, your boy places Christianity in a bad light. Okay, back to my prescription medicines.

Well, Surprise, SURPRISE to learn that about 80% of the the active pharmaceutical ingredients used to make drugs in the United States comes from China and other countries like India. Concerns about the safety of Chinese made pharmaceuticals is a real fear component. As recently as 2018, China's  largest vaccine makers sold 250,000 substandard doses of vaccine for diphtheria, tetanus and whooping cough. In 2008, contamination of raw materials from China used to make the blood thinner Heparin was linked to 81- American deaths. Fraud and manipulation of data and quality of products from China is almost as big a threat to our nation as is our 45-President...
