Report: Some Of Biden’s Free At-Home COVID Tests Were Made In China

Some free at-home COVID tests being distributed by the Biden administration through the United States Postal Service (USPS) are, according to their labels, “made in China.”

Fox News anchor Bill Hemmer praised the federal government for getting the tests shipped out in a timely manner under the President’s new testing initiative, but criticized the fact that the tests are being produced by the country that originated the pandemic.

“I got mine yesterday. They all arrived. Congrats U.S. government. U.S. The U.S. Postal Service was excellent. Got my four tests,” Hemmer said, holding up one of the test kits.

“And on the back of the fine print, Dana, it is made in China,” he told co-host Dana Perino.

“Of course,” Perino replied, unsurprised.

Made in China

There’s really no surprise here that the at-home tests being distributed by the American government were actually made in China. 

Reuters announced that Andon Health Co. Ltd. was going to provide self-testing kits for the United States about two weeks ago. Andon Health’s headquarters are in China.

These tests were well-paid.

According to this report, Andon had signed a $1.28billion contract with U.S. Army Contracting Command.

Former President Donald Trump calls on China to make reparations for all the damage they did in the Pandemic. However, the Biden administration has been paying Chinese laboratories for COVID testing.

“China has to pay, they have to do something,” Trump said. “They have to pay reparations and China doesn’t have the money to pay those reparations.”

Senator Rick Scott (R.FL) called upon the Biden administration to order American-made, at-home COVID testing equipment in January and for taxpayer money to be withheld from China.

“It is my expectation that the Biden administration ensures that not a single dollar of taxpayer funding is used to purchase COVID-19 tests manufactured in Communist China,” said in a letter to Health and Human Service Secretary Xavier Becerra.

“The federal government has a responsibility to support American manufacturers, and we cannot turn a blind eye to the fact that it was the Chinese Communist Party that lied about this deadly virus, tried to hide it, and has continuously covered up the origins of COVID-19,” he added.

Understandably, Senator Scott was upset to discover that the Biden administration sent Americans COVID test results made in China, contrary to his request.

A statement from his office explains that Scott finds it “unacceptable that the Biden administration would spend American taxpayer dollars on COVID tests from Communist China.”

He contends that the American taxpayer dollars “just goes directly to supporting General Secretary Xi and his genocidal regime, instead of supporting American manufacturers and jobs.”

Biden’s administration defended this move, pointing out a shortage of home testing supplies and not all the test kits being made in China.

“We are procuring as many US-made at-home tests as are available to purchase, while also purchasing additional, FDA authorized at-home tests that are made in other parts of the world,” an official told Fox News Digital.

They add that every at-home test distributed to Americans, even those made in China “underwent a rigorous FDA approval process guaranteeing that it is of the highest quality.”

Members of the House of Representatives received KN95 masks earlier this month to use on the chamber floor. The masks were stamped with the words “MADE IN CHINA” on the side.
