On the recordMay 12, 2004

So to make sure I understand this, the FDA, the same FDA that has begun to throw overboard science, the same FDA that is clamping down on Americans going to Canada for less expensive drugs, the same FDA that approves prescription drugs, if they approve them, this FDA which is way too controlled by the drug industry, which is controlled and influenced by the drug industry, if they approve a new drug, even if that drug is found to be unsafe and injures hundreds of thousands of people, there is no liability? There is no way to bring suit?
