FDA started approving drugs that have been around long before the FDA was established and now their prices are soaring.
There are about 1,000 medications on the market that predate the existence of the Food and Drug Administration and therefore were never approved. FDA official Deborah Autor spoke to CBS News as head of the office of unapproved drugs. “Well, for me, unapproved drugs present current risks,” Autor said. “We don’t know what’s in them. We don’t know if they’re going to work properly. We don’t know how they’re made and that’s a real concern.”
Hundreds of thousands of people take Colchicine each year. The FDA said over the past 40 years, 169 deaths have been linked to the medication. A company called URL Pharma decided it would take the ancient drug, sold for 10 cents a pill, and test it as part of an FDA program to either approve these drugs or get them off the market.

Colchicine is a drug that treats gout. Now that the FDA is regulating Colchicine prices went up from $0.04 per pill to $5.00! – because only companies that are certified by the FDA can make this drug.
Facts: One of the companies that produces Colchicine is URL PHARMA. URL PHARMA was sold for a whopping 800 million dollars. Dr. Richard Roberts was the former chairman of a pharmaceuticals company URL Pharma.
Dr. Roberts is the force behind the movement against the Lakewood anti- vaxer parents. He clearly benefits from the government’s over regulation of drugs. Is he impartial enough to dictate to Lakewood parents and schools how to deal with vaccines?

nuch ah deah
(January 22, 2019 - 11:03 am)so perhaps we should not use Hatzolah or Bikur Cholim because they take donations from insurance companies that make money off our tragedies and tzaros,
we should not listen to anything they say because they are obviously in the pockets of big corporations.
bottom line is that we should be looking at the message, not so much the messenger.
And I agree with Ben Torah; lets not lose focus on what Jleaks could be most effective with. Railing against Dr Roberts will not get you that far being that he funds most of his own messages.
Ben torah
(January 21, 2019 - 6:59 pm)Well I don’t think its worth attacking rich on this website since jleaks is committed to expose corruption in Lakewood Township and vaad.. however I have zero respect for this doctor he got up by a bmg tent event and literally embarrassed every ben Torah in the world what a disgrace the fact that bmg allowed him to do this is a shame on them although he donated a hefty some still our morals shouldn’t have a price tag. Reb ahron(the real one) kotler didn’t stand for this and blasted mr. Bunim on numerous occasions for attempting to sell out to bal habatim in order to raise funds for the yeshiva. How far have we strayed?? I guess Ahron hakoten has alot ro learn from the real ahron kotler.
mind boggling
(January 21, 2019 - 9:11 pm)I’m not siding with anyone here but please explain how he embarrassed every ben toirah in bmg?

(January 20, 2019 - 10:55 am)This article makes me doubt all your others. If you really believe that one doctor, even if he’s successful, is so under the influence of “big pharma” and that is the reason why in Lakewood they’re so anti-vaccines (ignoring the world wide outcry etc. ) then your other conclusions are also pretty sketchy.
Sakanta chamira m'isurah
(January 19, 2019 - 7:14 pm)Who cares what Daddy Warbucks says regarding anything. Chazal teach that sakanta is chamira m’isurah and anyone who defies Torasainu H’kdosha r’l will have to give din vcheshbon

Does that atone for the blood money?
some may think they can justify some of their skeletons in the closet, that way.

Becoming rich on the misery of others.
