They are currently eating our biotech lunch. Between cuts to NIH, chaos at FDA and CDC, and China’s intensive investment and buildout of their biomedical infrastructure the US is going to be getting lapped soon. Ask a biotech VC about it.

But who knows, maybe if we keep the tariffs for another 10 years we can host the chemical manufacturing facilities that produce the drugs their biotechs sell to us after ours are no longer competitive.

Moderna is now curbing vaccine trials because of US policy. Ironic that the same crowd that insists “healthcare companies want to keep you sick” is now cheering policies that reduce access to one time, preventative solutions in the form of vaccines.

It's OK, the med beds will cure everyone so the US won't need vaccines. And if they don't, you've got the rapture to look forward to, so it's a win/win.
