Anyone with "common sense" would know that IF you have a malady...and you have a Cure/treatment for that malady you would prescribe it...doctors do it all the time...the objections come into play when you are talking about careers, liability and smear campaigns. The "sociopaths" as you refer to them...are far enough from the pain and suffering... so as not to notice while they fill their pockets.
Nader's oversize mouth Might have initiated the onslaught but, I believe forces behind events...took the baton and ran with it...in an effort to bog down any attempts at moving this Molecule forward.
The Philippines would always move in tandem with whatever the USA mandated. The stock tanked because fingers were pointed in every direction that might cast doubt on the effectiveness of the Molecule....you can thank the shorts for that continued effort.
As for the FDA "hit piece"...I would dearly love to know who authored that timely yet unGodly piece of trash.
