FDA = WTF?

AFP: US says contaminated blood-thinner came from China

read that article... its just grand.

Now this is what gets me.

Pharmalot ? FDA Refuses To Give Congress Some Heparin Info


Perhaps I'm not reading this correctly, but allow me to give my feelings.

These people are stone cold [censored]ing nuts. A congressional hearing where you are asked to provide the names of foreign (keep in mind Chinese) companies who have produced medicine (of all things) linked to
causing death in 81 American citizens....and untold number of illness and you want to protect your confidentially agreement with your client?
[censored] you lady, and [censored] you FDA.

This almost feels like treason. "I will not tell you who is killing our citizens because their my friends"

I can't cut this any other way, its bull[censored]. Of course the FDA is saying their cracking down on the shipments and testing more incoming drugs to prevent future harm. But where was the concern before 81 people were killed? Honestly folk's, is this what we've come too?

[Muck]

[censored] China

[sandgk]

Can we get the FDA back to doing what they have become talented in? And by that I mean writing warning labels for Restless Leg medications.

What total and complete bull[censored]. There are closed door hearings if there were real secrecy concerns. But, life trumps dollars (or should!) and that information should be made available by court order or other enforceable warrant.
