The next time a doctor examines you, a phlebotomist draws blood from your arm, a nurse takes your temperature, or you undergo any medical procedure, there is an increased likelihood—thanks to the failures of the Democrat administration of President Joe Biden—that the Chinese made the gloves the medical professional is wearing.
At this pace, if nothing changes, the U.S. will be dependent on China for approximately 60 percent of medical gloves used domestically in 2024. The Virginia plant was part of those efforts, according to the article. The federal government spent $123 million on the project, which was to be executed by Blue Star NBR. But due to lack of action and engagement by the Biden administration, it is being mothballed.
Blue Star’s chief executive Scott Maier and other prospective domestic glove manufacturers have been briefing members of Congress and their staffs about the Biden administration’s failures, meeting with lawmakers and congressional investigators to inform them of the nation’s vulnerabilities. Maier told Breitbart News that these vulnerabilities are steep if this problem is not addressed soon.
