China’s dominance of the pharma supply chain is highly dangerous to the US
New Jersey used to manufacture the world’s medicine supply. But today, the majority of ingredients necessary to make your medicine, more than 80%, are sourced from China. U.S. dependence on China for the raw ingredients required to make medicines has become a national security concern.
Months ago, I predicted that if China was forced to close itself down to combat the coronavirus epidemic, or at some point decided to interrupt the U.S. pharmaceutical supply chain, it would precipitate a public health crisis and create the worst drug shortage the U.S. healthcare system has ever seen. And indeed, last month, the FDA reported on the first supply chain disruption due to the coronavirus. More recently, health officials confirmed that there will be drug shortages as concerns over our supplies grow.
As trade tensions between America and China continue, and the coronavirus spreads at pandemic levels, we must ask: How vulnerable is the United States?
There has not been an antibiotic manufacturing plant on U.S. soil for more than a decade. And our factories no longer make generic antibiotics; it’s a far cry from World War II, when our plants produced life-saving penicillin.
