[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I read the article and wasn't convinced it was a real problem. A dozen babies possibly died?

The FDA is a bureaucracy. They don't actually encourage manufacturing, they just put up barriers that increase manufacturing costs.[/quote]

You have to be kidding me.  [/quote]

+1 re "You have to be kidding me."
  You don't think it's a real problem that thousands of people, including babies, are getting sick, not growing properly, and dying? You don't have a problem with a dozen babies dying?? What's wrong with you?![/quote]

Evidence of "deaths" in the article were antidotal at best. If this were a real issue the CDC would step in.[/quote]

I think that you meant "anecdotal". And "anecdotal" =/= "false". Anecdotal reports of a dozen babies in the DC area dying is absolutely enough to raise an alarm.

Also, I don't know what you mean by the CDC "stepping in". What do you think that the CDC would do? Are you saying that if it's not in the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, it didn't happen?[/quote]
