I personally think @refurb asked exactly the right question (whether he's from the industry or not). >The FDA is clearly catching these companies doing wrong, so why are they covering it up? This deserves more research. Don't get distracted by "big pharma", ask why the FDA aren't doing anything about the wrong-doing they're uncovering. Occam's razor cuts towards lack of funding. Next question: Who is in charge of FDA funding? How can this be changed?
