U.S. agency says drugs are safe

The Associated Press

Saturday, November 20, 2004
WASHINGTON A U.S. Food and Drug Administration official on Friday
"categorically" rejected accusations that the agency had failed to
protect the public against dangerous drugs, especially Merck's Vioxx
painkiller.
.
"All the drugs that are on the market have risks," said Dr. Steven
Galson, acting director of the agency's Center for Drug Evaluation and
Research.
.
Appearing on television a day after a critic renewed allegations that
the regulatory agency had mishandled the arthritis drug Vioxx, Galson
also said that a review was under way of five other medications whose
safety was questioned.



And it doesn't rain in Indianapolis in the summertime...

We're supposed to believe the Bush Administration's FDA, the agency in
the back pocket of the drug manufacturers? The same FDA that issued a
statement that Vioxx was safe the same day its manufacturer was forced
to pull it off the market?

There's nothing quite like the faith-based "science" of the Bush
administration.

Go ahead...take the stuff...Jesus will protect you.



Same FDA under Clinton, Bush1, Reagan, Carter, et. al.
