I remember when the China, France, a Latin American consortium... even Cuban released their versions of the COVID vaccine, and US officials fell all over one another insisting they didn't work.

I wonder how the US will respond if we lack any kind of for-profit answer to another pandemic. Will our demolition of the FDA mean we can acquire medication abroad? Or will the US crack down on vaccine tourism out of paranoia?

Seems like the US might abandon even the pretense of being a global pharmaceutical leader in the rush to return to its quack roots.
