In case you missed it: We found that the FDA allowed 20+ foreign factories to continue to send certain medications to the U.S. even after those facilities were banned because of concerns about contamination and other breaches.The agency kept the practice largely hidden from the public and Congress.propublica.org/article/fda-dru#FDA #Drugs #Health #Manufacturing #Medicine #PublicHealth

    @ProPublica don't meet standards? Then you don't get to import the drugs and are publically called out. I want to know that my medications are safe and effective. Same for wife's medications.
