At this point, bureaucrats are actively killing people. Will there come a time in the near future when the favor is returned?
"Due to the worldwide shortage of N95
masks, the operative question for FDA regulators is not whether a
Chinese KN95 mask is preferable to an American N95 mask," write Alec
Stapp, director of technology policy at the Progressive Policy
Institute, and Caleb Watney, a tech policy fellow with the free-market R
Street Institute, in a forthcoming paper on the regulatory challenges
facing face mask suppliers.
"The question is," they continue, "whether it's better than the CDC's recommendation
that healthcare professionals 'might use homemade masks (e.g., bandana,
scarf) for care of patients with COVID-19 as a last resort.'"
According
to the CDC's own data, it takes an average of 95 days to approve new
certifications for face mask suppliers. That's far too long, even at the
best of times."
