Re: Where is FDA?
The FDA = the government = the corporations.
Bush Administration Forced FDA To Make Complete Immunity for Negligent Corporations a Top Priority
Today’s report highlights internal FDA documents which show high-ranking career officials repeatedly warning about the dangers of not allowing drug companies to add additional warnings to their labels without FDA approval. Prior to this the FDA had asserted through a rule on drug and device labeling that manufacturers should not be held accountable for failing to update their label with additional risks, if the original label was approved by the FDA.
AAJ’s report shows how the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) had direct involvement in the placement of the “complete immunity” preemption language at seven federal agencies in over 60 proposed or final rules.

Let's see if Obama will do anything to correct this soon. |
