Is he not directly responsible for defunding a lot of the research and programs that would have helped here? Weird that Captain All-Natural cares about having less drugs than China.
Yes, but that's entirely missing the point here.
Drug research and development takes decades until final approval. If there is a decrease in the US (or an increase in China), you need to look for cuts (or additional investments) in the early 2000s.
The damage this idiot has done will not be visible for quite some time...
Again though, he cut programs that were in motion so as far as we know stuff could have been decently close and is gone now. Also important is the fact that he’s literally a guy who constantly talks and act like prescription drugs are evil and yet is using China having more of them as a good thing for them and a bad thing for his country.
They cut off funding for projects at all levels of completion. Who knows how much recent shit they killed
