FDA Records Dump

Last Friday afternoon, the FDA publicly release over 6 million records on device problems and post-surgical complication that were previously hidden from the public, over 300,000 were due to breast implants. While I appreciate the file finally being made public, this was purposely planned to be released when they knew the public would not be tuning in. I would probably want to hide the release in the weekend news cycles to if I help defraud millions of women.

This records dump is part of the plan that the FDA put together last month to end summary reporting that I spoke about here.
