FDA Watchdog organization

[Vocalek]

Just stumbled across this one:

FDAReview.org, a project of The Independent Institute

Drawing on this body of research, we evaluate the costs and benefits of FDA policy. We also present a detailed history of the FDA, a review of the major plans for FDA reform, a glossary of terms, a collection of quotes from economists who have studied the FDA, and a reference section with many webbed links. A more detailed table of contents follows. We are happy to receive comments and criticisms.

This page on the site is particularly enlightening (and maddening).

Glad someone is watching them. sheesh.

I was outraged when I read some of the stuff the FDA does/did.

Why that shoddy agency still exists is mind boggling.

It upsets me to see federal agencies institute failed policy and make mistakes at a mile a minute. It makes people lose faith in the federal government as a whole, even with completely unaffiliated agencies. I take pride in my work, and I think that I and the other people I work with care and do a job to the best of their abilities, while trying to wisely spend your tax dollars... but it is somewhat of a rarity, I'm finding.

OMG, the section on 'devices' really brings things into perspective. It's quite literally best for us to just plan on being criminals for the rest of our days

I think the whole ecig is awesome but once modded or used on a mod we become "Hobbists" tinkering with "projects" of the "Personal herbal atomizer replacement of suppliments" or pharos for short.

Boom FDA off our backs, they do not regulate the hobby industry, nor do they regulate the herbal suppliment industry. Let njoy and suckseverywhere shoot themselves in the foot, we adjust the products and results ourselves.

Dred no matter what your personal opions on smoke everywhere and njoy or any other companies are, please realize at this time we need to stick together.

Our beloved country of the United States is never going to get government right. They waste money...pass asinine bills...try and ban ridiculous things...limit WAY too much... I despise this country's government. If I had deeper pockets and more numbers in my bank account, you can bet damn sure I'd move somewhere else.

I Second that & will succeed to doing that as soon as Possible.
Already have it planned out.

So where's your destination? I'm looking more towards Canada. Not because I think their government is superior, but because Canada just seems to be overall happier than everyone else. Their government must be doing something right, eh? (I haven't really looked into their government much, so if that statement was out of ignorance, I apologize haha)

 

[karmatized]

there happy because they are very very high

WTF? That was helpful, thanks.

This is an old article, but some very interesting FDA actions causing many unnecessary deaths:
Power-Hungry FDA Is Hazardous to Our Health: Newsroom: The Independent Institute

Actually, the whole site is interesting.

 

[CtryBoy]

Interesting links. Although makes me worry. Then can seem unstoppable sometimes.

Politics And I honestly think if they really wanted to be, they probably could be unstoppable. Any really serious issues with their methods/policies can be filibustered (or whatever the legal equivalent is) with mountains of paperwork and superfluous motions.

People rarely care what happens if it doesn't involve them, and if it does indirectly involve them, they simply take the path of least resistance.

Hopefully my new sig will encourage some action. Easy to click vote comment, but only time will tell if we will even feel like trying. I've dabbled in campaigining, but its a long hard road and they are betting you cant outlast them or their (I mean OUR) wallets.


Schedule of upcoming meetings to discuss tobacco control. Wonder if anyone from our team is going?

or if they'll even let companies that produce PV's to attend since they still claim medical device despite being ....*slapped by the nice man in the black robe.

Except that the sale of e-cigs with nicotine is already banned in Canada.
