Here is the latest example of their willingness to kill their fellow Americans for a few dollars more.

Drug scandal keeps getting worse

The feds can’t seem to figure out what to do with the dangerous diabetes drug Avandia, so they’ve resorted to impotent half measures–like ordering the drug’s maker, GlaxoSmithKline, to suspend recruiting for a new clinical trial.

That’s actually not that big of a deal: Avandia’s increased heart risk is so well known that trial sites were having a hard time finding patients willing to participate anyway.

But my guess is that this isn’t about protecting the patients who would have been involved in the trial. It’s about protecting the FDA–because if the agency acts on the recent recommendation by its own “expert” panel to keep Avandia on the market, it wouldn’t do to have embarrassing data from a new trial haunting them for years to come.

And speaking of that panel, the feds now admit that the carefully selected “experts” they convened to weigh one of the agency’s biggest decisions in years had conflicts so glaring you could solve the vitamin D crisis in their bright, yellow glow.

The panel, as you have probably heard, voted 20-12 to keep Avandia on the market, although most members also voted to add new warnings and restrictions.

But it turns out that one panelist, Dr. David Capuzzi, was actually a paid speaker for GlaxoSmithKline. And while the “drug” he was paid to speak about was actually the fish oil capsules sold as Lovaza, Capuzzi had also served on a GlaxoSmithKline advisory panel for Avandia.

According to the Wall Street Journal, the company paid Capuzzi a total of $14,750 over the years, with the most recent payment–$3,000–coming in the second quarter of this year.

He voted to keep Avandia on the market as is, with no additional warnings or restrictions. Coincidence? You decide–but only two out of 31 other panelists voted with him on that.

What’s more, another panelist had an equally glaring conflict on the other side of the issue. It turns out Dr. Abraham Thomas belonged to Takeda’s Diabetes Speakers Bureau between September 2007 and September 2008. He gave two presentations, and was paid between $2,000 and $3,000.

Takeda makes Actos, a direct rival to Avandia–and the drug often mentioned as the better choice (despite the fact that lifestyle changes are far better than either).

Coincidence? Again, you be the judge–but feel free to note that Thomas wasn’t nearly as lonely in his position as Capuzzi, since he joined 11 others in an effort to pull Avandia from the market.

But at this point, it’s fair to ask what else the FDA has been hiding from us. Just don’t expect any honest answers any time soon.
===============================
It is incredulous that no one is complaining at the federal level about this neat arrangement that allows a member of the FDA to get paid by members of a group the federal government pays them to regulate.

 ??A husband read an article to his wife about how many words women use a day.

….??30,000 to a man’s 15,000.??

The wife replied,

‘The reason has to be because we have to repeat everything to men.

..??The husband then turned to his wife and said,

‘What?’

As for Jorge(not mine), I’m back in LA and it was a great memory. He was nicely well endowed and he was not shy in bed.

I’m on my way to Columbia. The studio not the country, I have been offered a part in a movie. I will be bragging on the picture and when it will be out if it plays out.

I am fully aware of the “casting couch.” But I have stood firm in the past and I will continue to refuse to put out for a part in a movie.

They are mostly ugly little men who would not garner a glimpse from me in public. But I know the effect this body and face has on males. So the guy will not be able to resist putting the moves on me.

Sometimes it is a bane to be a gorgeous as I am . The gorgeous part is no exaggeration. There aren’t many women in hollywood or elsewhere who have my natural assets.

But, alas, I am a complete latin woman. I belong to my man. And that man is Jorge. He commands my body to perform, in bed his needs are my desires.

I live to please him. I go for this part because I want all his friends to see me in lights and know that I belong to my Jorge.

I didn’t go home with one of the boys because a certain miss followed me into the ladies and said that she could see to it that my after party was a blast if I would only give her the chance.

She was an incredible looker, and I hadn’t had a female encounter since I went to Jersey to study to take their bar.

So I gave in a allowed her to feel me up. The rest was a given. If she could do that with just her fingers under testy circumstances she certainly deserved an opportunity to put those talented fingers to work in more relaxed circumstances.

Knowing that I had my date for the night and it was a she, made me so much more loose. I gave the best dry humps I could the rest of the night.

I flashed my ass at every opportunity and I went home with what turned out to all she promised.
