If the FDA wanted it approved then why did they sign off on our trial as presented, then move the goal posts after its successful conclusion? They had no issue with the severe-critical ratio when they gave us the green light to proceed. Then you take note of all the BP reps sitting on decision-making boards and other positions of power at the FDA and look at the history of the US bullying smaller countries with economic sanctions for defying the imperial monster and you wonder if anyone will make the bold move to approve this superior product. Is Dutuerte in the P.I. strong enough to defy the US and their possible sanctions? Strongly pro-corporate and far-right winger Bolsanaro in Brazil may step out with his hero Trump out of the picture, but will he defy the big money mob he worships? Probably not. Trudeau and Canada seem slightly more independent of US influence than the UK, perhaps this is where the dam will break first? Hope it comes soon - I'm starting to feel like a Latin American country as my hopes are being crushed by the iron fist of american imperialism.
