Hehehe corruption is everywhere even in USA

Hold on. Aren’t all those companies who shifted production lines to do this in the same predicament? Perfume, food, vacuums, cars; all those manufacturers shifted production to medical grade supplies. So why is this suddenly important news? More like fake news.

🤦🏽‍♂️

Who did they pay this to? Need to fact check. How would I?

So they were about as effective as the ventilators Elon Musk gave California? Gotcha.

'Reportedly' ? Did they or did they not? GM or Ford engineers likely have 'no Background in medical supplies'. What does that mean? Only that you are trying to spin this into a negative

Did Chris Grayling (Tory Party MP, UK) advise on this? He's a habit of spending money on things that don't exist. Check out his ££m investment in a ferry company, that had no ferries and didn't exist.

Did the vendor make any campaign donations?

Nice
