so the test kits were based on the virus in China and worked on with the WHO. I can understand verifying kits and their efficacy but I'm having trouble understanding WHY they rejected them to recreate the wheel then make them independently. Do you think it's a Big Pharma thing? Is it all about money? Hubris? Ego? Have we heard more about this.

I find it very distressing.

What’s the use of a pandemic if the healthcare industry can’t make a profit.
