OUR VIEW ON DRUG SAFETY: FDA VET TRACKS DOG DEATHS, GETS SMEARED IN THE
PROCESS -- TALE OF PROHEART 6 RAISES QUESTIONS ABOUT WHO CALLS THE SHOTS
AT AGENCY.
"The most troubling aspect of this is the effect it will inevitably
have on other FDA safety officers. After seeing what can happen when
someone gathers evidence that a drug is unsafe, what safety officers
wouldn't think twice about risking their careers by antagonizing
powerful companies?
That's a terribly dangerous way to run a drug safety process that can
ultimately mean life or death to animals and humans alike."
