Just listening to the radio & they're reporting that today, the ex. head of the Chinese FDA has been executed for taking bribes & allowing tainted products to be exported. It's been a bit over a month since he was found quilty of the charges.   

Here, our version of that agency is entirely "captive". Virtually everyone in it above a certain level greases the wheels for the 5 huge pharm companies, then they all leave for high-paid cushy jobs with those same companies. Licensing fees of many millions of dollars were encouraged by those paying, to lock in the 5-way monopoly and prevent any chance of start-up competition.

After almost 7 years of experience with them, I saw a lot. I wouldn't trust them to feed my cats, and thoughts of things like the "flu vaccine"... as in, "we're from the g'ment and we want to inject this into you" fill me with real terror. Execution may seem drastic, but here thousands die and there's no accountability at all.

Perhaps the Chinese have been watching us.

1+ Wrecent_Wryder , I'm with you on this one.
