Remember the anthrax vax in the 1990s?
Various members of the military had serious reactions. Pentagon refused to admit any issues. One day, FDA does a surprise inspection of the Michigan plant that manufactures the vax. Neither the plant or the Pentagon were expecting this.
FDA issues orders after the inspection...total shut-down until various issues regarding quality are addressed. Company goes to the Pentagon and asks them for a waiver. Pentagon now begins to grasp the quality issue and says ‘no’. Company says they can’t fix the quality issue unless they are paid more money by the Pentagon.
So several million are given over to fix the quality issues. Shutdown goes on for six months. In the end, there’s so much money left from the Pentagon ‘gift’ money....they buy all new furniture for the building, and repave the parking lot.
At the end of this...the whole debate of vax quality arises and to avoid Senate meetings...the program is basically halted.
I might go and suggest a FDA inspection and see what they find at these plants (3 years late).
The FDA has been corrupted and is in bed with Pharma. The days of their role as watchdog are over.
