You know, the FDA is the most difficult, because U.S. consumers get the safest medicines.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Is *that* a fact?Why is it that REZULIN, a diabetes drug used in Europe for years, and then
discontinued there, was approved here DESPITE the warnings of extensive liver damage?Look at the rap sheet for VIAGRA, a cheap-thrills drug that should have been pulled a long
time ago for the deaths it has caused, yet it remains on the market, the subject of insipid
jokes by mediocre comedians.And that jackass Kessler, the former FDA chief, who was more interested, and worried, about
the labeling of orange juice containers instead of fast-tracking the approval of AIDs drugs.Please! Don't get me started on the FDA ... I think they're WORTHLESS!
Greetz to Abby.
