I didn’t want the vaccine bc I didn’t want to put anything unnatural in my body

About 2/3 of brand name drugs, and 80% of generic drugs, are manufactured outside the US. So when tariffs are placed on pharmaceuticals, the US government, and America’s patients (who already pay much more than Europeans for the same meds) will pay even more. Genius.
