MedTech. Supply Chain. Healthcare. Food. Politics. Not necessarily in that order.

[John G. Murphy @JGodiasMurphy]

USTR is seeking comments on supply chains and trade policy. In its notice, it describes the past several decades of U.S. trade policy as a "race to the bottom… It has also contributed to the hollowing out of the American industrial base and vital U.S. jobs." Really? 🧵

Vaccination is going slowly because nobody is in charge - The Washington Post https://t.co/ila7ZD2eWr

[Ashish K. Jha @ashishkjha]

So a lot of chatter happening on the slow vaccine roll out

Personally, I'm incredibly frustrated.

Did we not know that vaccines were coming? Is vaccine administration a surprise?

Several complex issues so lets break things down a bit

Warning, this is a bit of a rant
