Quotes: “We’re going to have to update our vaccines and our antibody drugs and other therapeutics regularly to keep up with these new variants as they emerge.” | “Such operations and illegal online pharmacies take advantage of unsuspecting Americans by purporting to distribute safe and effective imported drugs, at least some of which are instead expired, mislabeled, subject to recalls, or potentially counterfeit, and that are provided outside of the closed American distribution system meant to protect patient safety.”
