The FDA has warned repeatedly that Canadian drugs are unsafe because they are not subject to FDA oversight and might be outdated, contaminated, counterfeit or packaged in the wrong dosage. David MacKay, executive director of the CIPA, said the warnings have done little to slow sales, and he said all the association's pharmacies are highly regulated and licensed. "The Canadian system is not harming any Canadians," he said. "Why is it that by crossing the border does it suddenly happen that it will harm someone?" He said customers and the FDA can ensure drug safety by making sure the pharmacies are licensed, have a physical address, require a patient history and doctor's prescription and allow independent or FDA inspection. McGinnis dismissed the suggestions. "It's just not going to work," he said. "There would have to be mechanisms set up, and we would have to get permission from the Canadian government to inspect.".............this is a red herring & a huge lie to the American people. Its not like Canada is a third country nation. The FDA is a bag of shit. They want to hold the American people up for ransom for the sake of the the big drug companies. Good to see that there are people from Illinois, Springfield, Boston & Alabama (?) that are still able to put 2 thoughts back to back and delare that they don't have to take this anymore.
