I have wondered why the CDC and FDA seemingly have been so unconcerned with the (in my opinion correct) public perception of them as fools and bumblers, and corrupt. One need only look at the anonymous hatchet-job letter that has so badly hurt CYDY's ability to make life-saving deals in the Philippines and India, and probably cost at least thousands if not hundreds of thousands of lives.
Unfortunately most people have no idea of the kinds of terrible things the FDA has done and continues to do, and people are usually unbelieving when they're told.
