SILICONE MANUFACTURERS HAVE BEEN SELLING HARMFUL BREAST
implants — products the bureau never approved. (update: in November,
2006, after 40 years, the bureau caved in to business demands and gave
’safety approval’ with some unenforceable conditions to Inamed &
Mentor for polymer boob implants. Dr. poet author said it best:
The support makes a mimicry of the jural accepted that requires
“reasonable sureness of safety.”)
Following in the footsteps of their cousins –The Tobacco Barons –
the powerful Dows and another polymer manufacturers hit separate roughshod
over the jural system. They followed the success formula:
Bury every incriminating evidence. Deny its existence. Make the victims
prove your creation is not safe.
However, it wasn’t until Oct 1996 (Science, Oct 18) after
thousands of studies and tens of jillions of smoking-related deaths,
that scrutiny power was healthy to refer a “missing link” between
smoking and lung cancer.
