Dr. Herbert Ley, Harvard professor and former Commisioner of the FDA: “People think the FDA is protecting them. It isn’t. The FDA protects the big drug companies, and is subsequently rewarded. Using the government’s police powers, they attack those who threaten the big drug companies. What the FDA is doing, and what the public thinks it is doing are as different as night and day.”
He made this statement in 1968, and it's just as true today as then. The FDA is a thoroughly corrupt agency, subverted and corrupted by the Rockefeller Foundation and Pharma for over 70 years. More recently, the Gates Foundation has added to the corruption of the FDA.
I would love to change the system. I voice my concern about the control pharma has over our health institutions to people. I expressed my concern to the neuro ophthalmologist two weeks ago, (I’m vaccine injured), I told her how medical journals are funded by pharma as well as oversight health agencies. She gave me that look as if to say “you’re a conspiracy theorist.” I tell my friends and get different responses. I feel so impotent. Kim Witczak is doing something. I want to do something. I’ve written letters, letters to the ED which never publish my letters although I used to get many published. I’ve reached out to my member of parliament, Canadian medical association but never get a reply. I’d love to be involved in some grass roots movement.
