 "Edward Kennedy, September 10,1997,at Senate hearings on the fda reform Bill

"The FDA claims to see great advantages in voluntary [industry] actions ?flexibility, speed, and low costs to the FDA," Nader wrote in a chapter about cosmetics safety for the 1974 book Consumer Health and Product Hazards, published by MIT Press (a book I co-edited).

 "Horton was outraged and called for FDA reform:
"In the case ofVioxx, the FDA was urged to mandate further clinical safety testing after a 2001 analysis suggested a 'clear-cut excess number of myocardial infarctions.' It did not do so. This refusal to engage with an issue of grave clinical concern illustrates the agency's in-built paralysis, a predicament that has to be addressed through fundamental organizational reform."
But Dr. Horton didn't stop there. He also explained, "...with Vioxx, Merck and the FDA acted out of ruthless, short-sighted, and irresponsible self-interest."- Mike Adams, Natural Health Solutions (Get the book.) |
