the FDA with help of congressmen. The six month study was inadequate and has resulted in over 400 people dying from the use of it. It was pointed out that there was already a very reliable blood thinner being used by doctors. The point of this was to force the reliable one to a seldom used status and to insert what became a dangerous drug. Damn shame!
