Ted, sit down and shut up.
As a Presidential Candidate You were my guy, 100%.
Until You and Mike Lee stabbed us all in the back for drug money.
Why Senator Cruz's Plan To Overhaul The FDA Would Jeopardize The Public Health.https://www.statnews.com/pharmalot/2015/12/21/ted-cruz-fda-drugs/This disaster would have opened the door for Drug Makers to do an end run around the handful of honest scientists working and being harassed for being honest, at our bought and paid for FDA by letting other countries bought and paid for medicine regulators override FDA rejection, or, letting Congress Force FDA to approve new drugs for market.
Under the RESULT act, FDA would have been Required to release Thalidomide upon America as Safe and Effective.
"Consider thalidomide. In 1956, the drug was approved in several European countries as a sleeping pill, and was also prescribed for morning sickness. But the medicine was later found responsible for thousands of babies born with malformed limbs. Thankfully, an FDA reviewer refused to approve thalidomide, and the drug never entered the US market. Imagine what might have ensued if the agency had taken the approach Cruz envisions."Criticize my source if you like, but I've followed Ed Silverman for almost a decade and there are very few reporters who know the ugly underbelly of Drug and Device makers, their Government Regulators, and Court decisions regarding them as well as Silverman. There are times when I've wondered if he knows the names of their dogs and cats too.
I'm still open to Cruz for SCOTUS, BUT ONLY BECAUSE on the Supreme Court he'd be there for life Without having to whore for money, which speaks volumes of the rest of Congress.
