Sorry, what? I can tell you're trolling, but the thread is discussing FDA oversight of sales of medical products. Are you suggesting that the USA was founded on the premise of snake oil sales? This has nothing to do with a medical market website. You seem to have conflated a number of issues and generated quite a bit of confusion for yourself. Sorry I can't be of more help.
- ctdonath 13y agoDid I suggest that the USA was founded on the premise of snake oil sales? No. You're misconstruing what I plainly said just so it's easy to dismiss it. I don't mind a government oversight as a matter of openness and standardization. I do mind government exercising power for its own sake, ordering a business to cease & desist when the service is using new technology to help people be better informed (WITH clear caveats that the information is suggestive, not authoritative). I worked with your examples (website, consumer victimization, etc) and observed that government is equally as guilty as you construe private business is, and from there questioned why you respect one and demonize the other. So long as 23AM makes clear their offering is not to be construed as actionable medical advice (suggestive, but not definitive by any means), the FDA should not be ordering them to stop service under threat of penalty/arrest.
