AstraZeneca’s chief executive has said Europe risks losing its “health sovereignty” and historic strength in pharmaceuticals if it does not pay more for medicines, as the industry shifts investment to the US and China.
“You still see a large industrial base in Europe, for historical reasons. A problem is future products rely on new technologies that require new manufacturing tools,” he said. “And these technologies are going to the US, and they’re going to China and other parts of the world, so into 15, 20 years, Europe could easily lose its health sovereignty.”
This is the guy. It’s important to associate faces to the treasonous wave shaking the EU right now. So they can’t hide later.
Here’s my very thoroughly researched answer to AstraZeneca’s CEO:
Go fuck yourself.
Bending the knee to Xi and Trump won’t end well. Europe seems actually interested in preserving its autonomy, with means, motive, and opportunity to make it happen
Europe seems actually interested in preserving its autonomy
What makes you think so?
The fact that this CEO is complaining about it
Unfortunately that’s not enough.

The bigger problem is that the EU cannot maintain souvereignity in all technologies. If we invest in health we have to save money elsewhere.
This CEO is primarily concerned with his company’s interests
Fuck you.
How about “If you want to sell medications on the European market, you have to produce at least X% locally”?
