Senators always want answers, but they never actually do anything when they get them.

POTUS legally has no power over FDA, so it's up to Congress to provide oversight.

The senate can hold hearings and lock FDA into a story about their (completely unjustifiable) actions so far.

Did you know that the FDA basically works for Big Pharma: 90% of drugs they approve are useless except for making patients poorer?

I know that Big Pharma actually pays for the FDA, and I also know that Congress is too busy lining its own pockets to do anything other than talk about oversight. As for the medical profession....

The first lesson at medical school: cure a patient and you lose a customer; treat a patient and you've got a customer for life.
