When the Big Pharmas look to join a drug development race, they increasingly turn to China. This $1.25B $PFE deal marks a new stage in that trend. All this as the traditional supply chain from China is being ripped up for biotech. Kyle LaHucik has the story.

Anyone with any interest in biotech should read this Endpoints News survey and see what biotech CEOs are saying. Trump 2.0 is having a profound effect — and it’s unintentional. More collateral damage. endpts.com/endpoints-100-…

Can't say I pray a lot, but I might change my ways if a new pandemic comes our way. RFK puts a bullet in a late-stage $MRNA vaccine for bird flu. BTW, if something truly is "under-tested" you look for more data, not less. endpts.com/trump-axes-mod…
