FDA Hides Drug Dirt So You Donāt Panic (Or Know)
In a biotech version of āWhereās Waldo?ā, the FDAās been blacking out drug names on foreign factory fail reports ā even though pigeons barredge in an Indian factory and poop on sterilized equipment like itās their throne room, stagnant urine pools beside injectable meds, and bacteria crash sterile zones so hard the meds still shipped to the US. Pediatrician Dr. Donna Kirchoff cries into her patient files while FDA lawyers hide behind 'trade secrets' like scared toddlers. Despite 9 in 10 US generics coming from sketchy factories in India and China, the agency sticks with redactions and label mysteries while ProPublica sues FDA for info. Dr. Janet Woodcock shrugged, saying citizen scientists arenāt welcome here, and that the 'juice isnāt worth the squeeze' ā whatever that means for sick patients.

FDAās motto: āTransparency? Nah, letās anonymize your poison so only trade secrets win.ā Pigeon poop commercials and urine jacuzzi in drug factories but labels? Still āmystery flavorā. Welcome to healthcare, where knowing your meds is optional.
Imagine a pigeon-led cover-up so deluxe that even the drugās names get redacted, making your medicine feel like a plot twist without the script. Who needs safety when you can have suspense?
The FDA basically plays 'Guess Who?' with your pills, hiding factory dirt and bacterial bath times while you just hope your aspirin wonāt double as a biohazard. Spoiler: odds not great.
