Proof of Incompetence
02.19.08 (11:08 pm) [edit]
The F.D.A. sent an inspection team to China to inspect a manufacturer of ingredients that goes into a blood thinner that has been causing allergic reactions in patients. The Inspectors gave the plant that they inspected a glowing report, now we discover that they inspected the wrong plant. Their excuse for this blunder is that no one on the inspection team spoke fluent Chinese. How incompetent can you be to send an inspection team to a foreign country without a fluent interpreter.

The FDA is not overly concerned how many millions of people get sick...it helps Big Pharma, and that's all they are interested in doing! FDA gets the same amount of money each year, but has cut hundreds of inspections...they don't care!!!
