Long covid is actually long vaccine.

I didn't know the FDA has no authority to issue a mandatory recall due to manufacturing problems, and that they don't seem to want that authority. Makes sense - they wouldn't want to recall the Covid 'vax'.

In 2020 there was a recall of certain Metaformin products.

I thought this quote was interesting:

"A few months ago, Singapore, Canada and Switzerland recalled several metformin products from pharmacy shelves because regulators became aware of contamination with the probable carcinogen NDMA. Now, the FDA is notifying health professionals that metformin from five manufacturers may also be tainted. Those companies include Actavis, Amneal, Apotex, Lupin and Marksans.

At the time of this writing only Amneal and Apotex have announced recalls of their extended-release metformin formulations. Most health professionals and patients do not realize that in the United States the FDA has no authority to issue a mandatory recall due to manufacturing problems. As far as we can tell, the agency does not want this authority, which we find astonishing."
