FDA Scientists Under Fire

by Wade Meredith on August 8th, 2006

More FDA-sucks propaganda for the second day in a row! According to a new report it’s just a little too Ministry of Truth in there.

A few quick hits:

A survey conducted by the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) has found that 18.4 percent of 997 scientists surveyed at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration “have been asked, for nonscientific reasons, to inappropriately exclude or alter technical information or their conclusions in a FDA scientific document.”

…61 percent of respondents knew of instances in which Department of Health and Human Services or FDA political appointees had inappropriately entered into FDA determinations or actions.

When asked whether they agreed that the “FDA routinely provides complete and accurate information to the public,” and if “FDA leadership is as committed to product safety as it is to bringing products to the market,” less than half of the scientists responded positively.

IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH after the jump.
