Two points worth noting:

"The FDA in effect serves as the re-generator of patent-protected high prices for minor drugs in each disease group, as their therapeutic equivalents lose patent protection," explains the report. "The FDA routinely approves scores of new minor variations each year, with minimal evidence about risks of harm. ... One in every five drugs approved ends up causing serious harm."

....the FDA is also actively complicit in a massive Big Pharma scheme that involves inventing new diseases and marketing them to the public in order to sell more drugs. So-called "preventative" drugs for diseases like Alzheimer's, for instance, are the drug industry's latest form of snake oil that the FDA is welcoming with open arms.

Any wonder we don't trust them (and not just about ecigs)?

It's all about big corporations lobbying (and bribing) the politicos in DC for their interests, which include squashing the competition. It's a thoroughly corrupt system. Whether or not it's generally known we do in fact have fascism in America.

Just like to post this once in a while, it shows what BP spends promoting their drugs. As far as I know this doesn't include any monies filtered through their House Pet Alphabet Groups or the various foundations they are affiliated with.
