Should the FDA Delay an Ebola Cure?

ACTION ITEM

 

I told Congress to remove obstacles to an Ebola cure using DownsizeDC.org's “Make the FDA Advisory, Not Mandatory” campaign.

 

Please do the same. You may borrow from or copy this letter…

 

Ebola should have been detected faster. The Dallas hospital with the first U.S. patient had the same Ebola screening machine that the military uses in Africa. (http://bit.ly/1DsPx2K)

 

But…

 

The FDA prevented the hospital from using it!

 

That seems CRIMINAL. Yet that's how the FDA works. It blocks or delays detection, treatments, and cures for even fatal diseases.

 

And I DO NOT CONSENT.

 

My body belongs to ME, not the FDA! If I'm sick, I should be free to use ANY treatment, even if it's experimental…

 

* If it has the FDA's seal of approval, great.

* If it is NOT approved by the FDA, I should STILL be free to use it at my own risk.

 

I demand you remove ANY obstacles that delay Ebola detection OR treatment.

 

And then, restore health freedom by making the FDA an advisory agency instead of a domineering bureaucracy. Allow my doctor and I to decide what's best for me. Stop blocking life-saving treatments.    

 

Take these steps IMMEDIATELY. This is, literally, a life and death issue. And if you fail to act, then you have blood on your hands.
