I apologize for my response to this statement a year and a half later, but I wanted to share an experience I had.kandscreeley wrote: ↑02 Mar 2018, 20:52 I'm not so sure. When a drug that the FDA has approved turns out to be deadly, people blame the drug manufacturer not the FDA. Isn't this similar?
About 18 - 20 years ago, I willingly participated in a drug study for psoriasis. The first drug study went smoothly and had no problems; it was never approved by FDA. The second drug study went okay at first but then I had an adverse reaction. I started spiking fevers around 103 - 104 degrees. Plus, I had trouble getting any bleeding to stop after a scratch or cut. When I shared my experience with the study doctor, he told me to keep taking it because I was imagining things. (His exact words, "If you were my daughter, I'd tell you to keep taking it and stop whining.") Basically he was telling me to "shut-up" and give the study good results so it would be approved by the FDA. Not surprisingly, it was. I blame underhanded doctors and drug companies. They are willing to do whatever it takes so they can get their way to make money. FDA approves drugs based on information given to them. Unfortunately, they have no way of knowing if the information given is above board and honest.

Yes, the NRA should take responsibility. They are the ones making sure that enough congressional leaders have been bought so no law can be voted for some gun control.JessNWheeler wrote: ↑01 Mar 2018, 13:35 Should the NRA have taken any responsibility for the tragic events presented in this book? Consider the organization’s media appearances and the discounts the NRA was offering. How were the NRA leaders and members portrayed in this book?
