Popularity
of prescription drugs from Canada continues to grow; FDA
plays role of mob boss for domestic prescription drug racket
A growing number of people are purchasing prescription drugs
that have been reimported from Canada. This practice bypasses
the drug company monopoly that now has a strangehold on customers
in the United States, allowing customers to have access to
the very same prescription drugs at a fraction of the cost.
The practice drives the pharmaceutical industry absolutely
crazy, of course, which is why they've fought bitterly against
it. The FDA, always watching out for the pharmaceutical industry,
has engaged in all sorts of Nazi-like tactics to shut down
drugs from Canada and scare people into avoiding them.
What kind of Nazi tactics am I talking about? How about
detaining and searching an entire bus load of elderly who
visited Canada and then returned to the United States? The
FDA has also pressured credit card merchant services to spy
on (and report) activities from online companies that sell
prescription drugs from Canada. Further, they've engaged
in a massive scare campaign to try to convince Americans
that drugs from Canada are somehow far more dangerous than
prescription drugs purchased in the United States (in reality,
they're ALL dangerous, but that's another story). Without
question, the mob boss FDA has done a great job protecting
the criminal drug ring operated by the U.S. pharmaceutical
industry, at great cost to consumers, of course. It's all
part of the FDA's mission to protect drug companies, regardless
of the consequences to public health. |
