Is the FDA really looking out for you?

the United States.”
Let’s get this straight – Canada has ordered the drug
to be pulled off the market in their country.
And the fda says it is alright that 2 children have suffered
strokes and 14 children have died from using this drug.
Canada cares about the health of its children and does
not want any deaths to happen in their country.
However, the fda has a very different view.
This is the fda statement posted on their website last week:
The fda says it “does not feel that any immediate changes
are warranted in the fda labeling or approved use of this
drug based upon its preliminary understanding of Health
Canada’s analysis of adverse event reports and fda’s own
knowledge of the reports received by the agency.”
When will the fda care about America’s children?
When will the fda care about the people of America?
Let’s review the fda mission statement one more time.
“The fda is responsible for protecting the public health
by assuring the safety, efficacy and security of human
and veterinary drugs, biological products …, our
Nations food supply …”
“The fda is also responsible for … helping the public
get the accurate, science based information they need
to use medicines and foods to improve their health.”
I’m not sure when you’ll be asking yourself, “Is the
fda really looking out for my health?”
