Are Drugs Safe? FDA Says, "I Dunno!"

But they love and care about us!

"F.D.A. Is Unable to Ensure Drugs Are Safe, Panel Is Told" by WALT BOGDANICH

The Food and Drug Administration cannot guarantee the safety of the nation’s drug supply because it inspects few foreign drug manufacturers and the inspections it does carry out abroad are less rigorous than those performed in this country, witnesses told a Congressional subcommittee yesterday.

While foreign companies manufacture as much as 80 percent of all ingredients used by American drug makers, the drug agency’s record keeping is so poor that it cannot say which of those have not been inspected, according to the testimony before the House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations.

So what is all the money you guys received gone?

To the WARS, or do you just not care about the safety of the American people?!


The accountability office, the investigative arm of Congress, also found that the drug agency relied on volunteers to conduct foreign inspections and that inspections were often determined by travel schedules and not need.

Then this agency is USELESS!!!!! What the FUCK!!!!!!!!!!


Another problem, witnesses said, is that the agency gives foreign drug makers advance notice of inspections, in contrast to the unannounced inspections in the United States. In some cases, agency inspectors have to rely on the company being inspected to provide translators.

Sigh!!!!!!!!!


Dr. Andrew C. von Eschenbach, food and drug commissioner, said his agency was changing its collection and use of data and was working more closely with foreign governments, including China’s:

von Eschenbach, adding that the American drug supply is still among the safest in the world:

We recognize that the world is evolving and our local markets now provide products largely from a global marketplace.”

HOW the FUCK WOULD HE KNOW the supply is SAFE?!?!

Say NO to drugs, kids!

Especially the LEGAL ones!!!!!!!!

I gotta go have dinner now, readers:


Frozen Pizzas May Be Contaminated"

General Mills recalled about five million frozen pizzas sold under the Totino’s and Jeno’s labels because of possible E. coli contamination. The problem may have come from pepperoni on pizzas produced at a General Mills plant in Ohio, the company, based in suburban Minneapolis, said. The voluntary recall covers pizzas that have been produced since July, when the first of 21 E. coli illnesses under investigation by thel authorities emerged. The company asks consumers to throw away the pizzas. More information is at generalmills.com (AP)."
