FDA Scientists Letter To President: Clean Up This Agency, Please!

Pharmalittle has:

Scientists Petition President Obama - Protect The Public, Protect The Whistleblowers

For those of you scratching your head, Amazed at How we've been Hornswaggled into Buying and Poisoning our Nation Itself into a state of Psychiatric Moon Cow Glaze, here's a laundry list Purported to be from Whistleblowers at FDA beseeching President Obama to step in and Kick Butt.
"Dear Mr. President:

The purpose of this letter is to draw your attention to the frustration and outrage that FDA physicians and scientists, public advocacy groups, the press, and the American people, have repeatedly expressed over the misdeeds of FDA officials. Recent press reports revealed extensive evidence of serious wrongdoing by Dr. Andrew von Eschenbach, Dr. Frank M. Torti, top FDA attorneys, Center and Office Directors, and many others in prominent positions of authority at FDA. As a result, Dr. Frank M. Torti, Acting Commissioner and the FDA’s first Chief Scientist, abruptly left the Agency.

But, the many other FDA managers who have failed to protect the American public, who have violated laws, rules, and regulations, who have suppressed or altered scientific or technological findings and conclusions, who have abused their power and authority, and who have engaged in illegal retaliation against those who speak out, have not been held accountable and remain in place."

The senders names on page 5 have been redacted, ..... and once you read the letter, you'll know why. ..... "

We're hoping for the best, and expecting, ..... well, ..... whatever.

With Drug Companies Paying FDA to 'Speed Approval' of their chemicals into You, .... don't expect miracles, even if action Should be initiated from the US Attorney General.

PDUFA needs to Go, period, and that's just a part of the problem.

This carrot and stick would work Much better if we'd just get Rid of the Drug Money carrot to begin with.
