How does Europe's dependence on Asian pharmaceutical production, especially for antibiotics, pose a significant threat to its healthcare and defense capabilities?

Europe's heavy reliance on Asia, particularly China, for 80-90% of its antibiotic supply, creates a critical vulnerability. Disruptions to this supply chain, as seen during the COVID-19 pandemic, could severely compromise European healthcare systems and even military capabilities. The lack of readily available antibiotics would severely limit surgical procedures and increase the mortality rate of treatable infections.

The first vaccinated chicks are being vaccinated today; eggs from these hens will be available in approximately 20 weeks. These eggs will be kept separate from non-vaccinated eggs and sold in specially designated packaging.", A2="This initiative aims to combat avian influenza by vaccinating chickens instead of culling infected birds. While the eggs from vaccinated chickens are indistinguishable from others, they are tracked using codes to prevent mixing with eggs from non-vaccinated birds. The pilot project, involving only one unnamed company, is limited in scope.", A3="The pilot program, lasting until early 2027, will assess the long-term effectiveness of the vaccine and explore export opportunities.
