Coach...the FDA wasn't hiding their emotions...it wasn't even a veiled threat...they absolutely lied in their statement in a non-factual account of events...and they understood how that would affect us..it was a cannon shot across our bow..letting us know that we were within range and could damage us beyond the almost $500 Million loss in Market capitalization that we suffered.
IFFF ...it wasn't for the science...a lesser company would have been DONE...period..kaput...and they bloody well knew it. Their olive branch at the end to us... was a demonstration of their sense of Benevolence...the entire passage of text until the very end was also a demonstration of their Malevolence....aka...a "Hit" piece...nothing less.
