Stripping innovators of their constitutionally protected patents will undermine that very innovation.

Imagine where we are because of American ingenuity, which is now at risk.

For years Republicans and Democrats alike were criticizing China's theft of American intellectual property.

Mr. Chairman, President Bush--President Biden, has now put at risk a key pillar of this strategy, the protection of United States intellectual property.

This is not about helping the world get COVID vaccines quicker. It is about undermining American ingenuity and intellectual property.

It would force the American developers of COVID-19 vaccines and therapeutics to relinquish their intellectual property rights to these medicines.

Each of us had felt the renewed freedom, and we enjoy seeing the smiles of our friends and neighbors again this past week as mask mandates have been dropped.

This is a national disgrace. Ten years from now people are going to look back and go, how did America let that happen to a generation of kids.

Some are just choosing not to, and that is really where we get to the concern.

President Biden can end this today. He needs to stop this national health crisis.
