MODERATORS
Did you actually use my question to excoriate the FDA?
Here's news, pal: regulations are written in blood becuase corporations will cheerfully and willingly kill for profit.
The power corporations have to willfully and cheerfully kill for profit comes from libertarian clowns and their arrogant assholerie.
No, I'm calling you out for choosing to care about human rights when it suits you.
As opposed to when?
Well, the medical rights you imagine support abortion should also support a lot of other medical rights. I chose the FDA because they do things like tell cancer patients they can't try experimental medications.
"can't try", or "doesn't work"?
...because there are boatloads of "alternative" doctors and "medical" distributors in my area
These were terminal cancer patients and oncologist recommended, but it looks like we've made some effort to fix it. They have a "Right to Try" act program now, so that's neat.
I think quacks should be able to be sued into oblivion by their ~~patients~~ victims.
