FDA Update

© Copyright Frank D. Kanu 2000-2008

Now I am getting it:
Instead of doing their jobs and protecting us (The Food and Drug Administration has known for years about contamination problems at a Georgia peanut butter plant and on California spinach farms that led to disease outbreaks that killed three people, sickened hundreds, and forced one of the biggest product recalls in U.S. history, documents and interviews show.) the FDA managers are busy counting money:

has prompted large cash bonuses for top agency officials to quadruple since 2002, to $13.6 million in 2005, according to FDA officials and salary information provided to Congress.

The bonuses were paid during a rough patch at the FDA, encompassing a shortage of flu vaccine and embarrassing recalls of the pain-relieving drug Vioxx and malfunctioning heart defibrillators.


They are too busy counting money and can’t do anything else anymore…

Those poor guys probably need all the money to buy food that isn’t contaminated…

Isn’t it embarrassing that no matter where you look—since the commander guy took over—the big piles of mud and that brown stuff have grown to never before known amounts…

Would you agree?
