Trump's tariffs cloud the future of a medical wonder

FORCHHEIM, Germany - On the outskirts of this bucolic town, in a region known as “das Medical Valley,” workers on a vast factory floor are assembling what they describe as the future: the game-changing scanners that can give doctors the most detailed images ever of what is happening inside the hearts, lungs and brains of their patients.

One of the scanners, two decades in the making and called the “Naeotom Alpha,” is unique, say its inventors at Siemens Healthineers, a global leader in CT technology. “The image quality is incomparable,” boasts Jesús Fernández, head of CT product marketing at the company, comparing the device’s technological leap to the difference between a 1970s television set and HDTV.

Since the scanners started shipping four years ago, leading hospitals around the world have ordered them. The Food and Drug Administration called the Naeotom Alpha - after approving its use - “the first major new technology for computed tomography imaging in nearly a decade.” Forty percent of the scanners are exported to the U.S. market.

Now Siemens Healthineers, other medical device makers and their customers are reckoning with a new challenge: the impact of President Donald Trump’s global tariffs.

Maybe Trump's afraid they'll scan his brain and find nothing.

1. Science, medical, food, h20 will survive........

to learn, understand life and nature and suffering and death, seems like homo sapiens are still in the experimental stages. Still very young compared to other species.
