I didn't guess "internet anything"
Still at a loss. Not sure where the tie-in is where the (on paper) protection for intellectual property and drug makers allegedly knowingly marketing harmful drugs.
Late 90s - early 2000s (?) I noticed cable tv was basically being paid for by what I called "wonder drugs". Drugs to cure every ailment, 10 seconds of selling the drug and 50 seconds of disclaimer. I always wondered who it was that thought up the names for the crap. MY knee jerk reaction was: nope. They started dumping too much on the market all at the same time. I wrote it off as TV revenue rather than selling dope, but still wanted no part of any of it.
I point this out as a frame of reference to where I stand. There's more than one issue here. Already touched on one. Individual responsibility/choice. don't take the shit. If you choose to, no crying down the line. Nothing in my life that's been sold as too good to be true ever has been.
On the other hand,
is it not the FDA's responsibility to protect the people from dangerous substances? What trumps what? Protecting the people? Or protecting the "intellectual property" of a for-profit, pharmaceutical company which allows it to hide what it's feed us? In this regard, I can easily see corrupt FDA officials taking kickbacks/bribes rather than giving them a pass as dumbasses.
I AM allowing for collective/individual circumstance.
