quote:

The new business unit, according to Kodak, will produce "critical pharmaceutical components" to help rebuild the national stockpile depleted by COVID-19. Once fully operational, Kodak Pharmaceuticals will develop up to one quarter of the active ingredients used in non-biologic, non-antibacterial, generic drugs while supporting more than 1,500 jobs.

quote:

One of the drugs for which Kodak will make ingredients is hydroxychloroquine, the anti-malaria medicine that President Trump has promoted as a treatment for COVID-19, according to The Wall Street Journal, which first reported on the deal. The Food and Drug Administration has said the drug does not help coronavirus patients recover faster or reduce their chance of death.



Just in time for the election, Trump is going to absolutely destroy Democrats and their all out effort to deny American citizens a drug PROVEN to not only cure CoVid 19 but also acts as a preventative.

These sick mother frickers INTENTIONALLY killed 150 THOUSAND of your fellow citizens to meet a political goal.

How do you feel about that?

Kodak was a major employer in Rochester, NY: win

This may help drug shortage system in tightening the sup[ply chain: win.

This may help with cost of drugs: win.

It leads other manufacturers to do same: win.

Donald Trump continues to win. USA continues to win.

Was this competitively bid?

If not, just more swampy DC bullshite.

Why not "give" this money to several small businesses? Why put your eggs in one basket?

Several small businesses would then compete with each other. Everybody benefits.

You do know that developing film was done through chemical processes, right? If Ford can make ventilators, why can't Kodak make generic chemical compounds? They aren't making the actual medicine.

That's how you end up with more drugs made in Chy-na.

I haven’t delved very far into the hydroxychloroquine mess other than I know y’all have been singing it’s praises eve since Trump first tweeted about it. Is there actually proof? Studies that show this? Or just doctors feelings and such

Kodak became a small business when the world went digital.

Might be the most important piece in this all. The US can do without shoes for Lowbrain James, we can't do without almost 150 drugs we need in a daily basis without China

Part of the problem is you with your head in the sand.

Part of the problem is the sheer number of trials. It is hard to keep up with.

The majority of the problem is the interface of medicine and politics. When you have Lancet retracting anti-HCQ studies for poor methods, Houston we have a problem.

This is true for certain patients or where ONLY HCQ is used.

Misleading statement is misleading.

To keep drug manufacturing for vital drugs out of China. Do you not recall that report at the start of the CV outbreak, that something like 85% of all "vital" medicine in the world is made in China?

Of course you do. You are just looking for another OMB moment. No one is listening to you anymore.

I believe maybe, MAYBE 50k-60k might be attributable to Covid and the rest might, MIGHT have died either WITH Covid virus or, more likely, were presumed, but not confirmed, to have the virus and, instead, died from complications attributed to flu infection.
