A video started circulating Sunday showing a grown man slapping a child on a bus after reprimanding her for not wearing a mask. It is unclear who the man is.

Turning Point USA Founder Charlie Kirk shared the video to his Instagram. In the caption, he wrote “This has gone way too far.”

In the video, the man is towering over the girl, who appears to be partially masked already. Kirk claims in the title of the video that the girl is only 10-years-old. The man points at her and says: “Hey you both have to wear the mask.”

“Why?” the girl asks.

“Because,” the man responds. Suddenly, he slaps her across the face. Another man is seen sitting just across from the girl, but does nothing when the first assaults the girl.

“Stop! Don’t touch!” the girl yelled.

FDA will work with China to import cancer drugs due to U.S. shortages

Earlier this week the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced it will be working to import chemotherapy drugs from, of all places, China. The drug, called Cisplatin, is to help “ramp up supply amidst rampant drug shortages in the U.S.” reports Foreign Desk News.

Foreign Desk News writes:

Cisplatin comes from drugmaker Qilu Pharmaceutical, which is marketed and produced in China but has not been approved by the FDA. According to a May 24 letter, Qilu will work with the Canadian-based drug company Apotex to import and distribute the medication, which will come in 50-milligram vials with Chinese labels.

“The FDA is responding to yet another generic drug shortage,” said Edmund F. Haislmaier, an expert in healthcare policy and markets at The Heritage Foundation. “The underlying cause of those shortages is that generic drugs have become low-margin commodity products,” he added.

Last week on Twitter, FDA commissioner Dr. Robert Califf said the partnership with Qilu Pharmaceutical is temporary but will provide patients with a potentially life-extending drug.

“The public should rest assured that we will continue all efforts within our authority to help the industry that manufactures and distributes these drugs meet all patient needs for the oncology drugs impacted by shortages,” Califf said.

Foreign Desk News adds:

The latest move by the FDA is sure to spark concern and debate in Congress, as lawmakers in the House and Senate have called on the Biden administration to de-couple the U.S. economy from the Chinese markets, given Beijing’s aggressive push to expand in the South-China Sea and eventually take over the island state of Taiwan. China has also spread illegal and dangerous synthetic opioids and fentanyl drugs across the U.S. southern border, resulting in the devastating deaths of many Americans.
