Remember when the Bush Administration told us that we couldn't allow imported prescription drugs from Canada to compete with 'good old made in the USA' drugs because it would be dangerous?
I didn't even know our drugs were being made in China by Big Pharm. Turns out- hey, maybe that wasn't such a good idea after all.
...According to the FDA, that plant has not been inspected by Chinese drug regulators, who sometimes do not visit facilities manufacturing for foreign markets...
..and where the FDA has no jurisdiction either.
Of course, our pharmaceuticals don't have to say "Made in China," we just get to wonder, and worry, and try to figure out how to take back the government that has been selling us out to the highest bidder for the last 7 years.
