U.S. Senator J.D. Vance (R- OH) is raising serious concerns about potential Chinese Communist Party (CCP) efforts to censor American medical practice due to severe shortages and weaknesses in the supply chain for essential personal protective equipment (PPE).
According to Senator Vance, America hasn’t been able to make the necessary medical supplies since the Biden Administration took office. Communist China is gaining an advantage in the sector because of it.
Vance and other senators wrote a letter to Xavier Becerra, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, pressing the top Biden official on the program that Trump initiated at the start of the pandemic to resume American production of items like medical gloves, which the Biden administration had compromised. Senator Rick Scott (R-FL) and Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) are among the other senators who have signed the letter.
According to reports, the Chinese have quickly taken over the medical glove market share in the US, thanks to several bungles committed by the Biden administration. In the letter, Vance focuses on this matter, pointing out that Trump had initiated attempts to manufacture the medical gloves needed by American healthcare professionals, but Biden botched it. He brought up that not a single one of the domestic manufacturing plants that the Biden administration had funded with hundreds of millions of dollars is up and running and that no projects had been finished.
Vance wrote that Becerra, while serving as HHS secretary, was complicit in the systematic weakening of the medical glove supply chain and that the United States’ reliance on China has grown substantially under Biden.
Vance wraps up the letter by stating that America can’t continue to rely on other countries for vital personal protective equipment and other necessities. Vance gave HHS Secretary Becerra until April 29 to respond.
