Meningitis linked to tainted steroids claims another life

A total of 312 cases of fungal meningitis has now been confirmed.  There are also five cases of peripheral joint infections.  All are linked to steroid injections from the New England Compounding Center.

Again, more strict guidelines and oversight of these compounding pharmacies is needed...they need to be under FDA control...and at the very LEAST basic hygiene protocols must be followed.
I found out Monday that a co-workers son was scheduled for an injection, but it was delayed due to insurance problems...and the facility where he was to have the procedure done pulled that tainted supply before anyone was injected with it...phew!
The pharmacy company needs guidelines to be adheard too. Its called Govt regulation.
More Government Regulations? Nonsense . The industry will regulate itself. These regulations will cost jobs (and profit). ....Where have I heard that before?
Lol.
You probably heard it from a candidate that wants to get rid of the EPA...lol.
That's the ticket.
This is a nasty one! BUT, YES, we need regulation / oversight / control, ANYTIME it comes to something that can affect ALL of us! This company screwed up and as a result people are dying! Don't worry about loosing jobs, they will more than likely be sued out of business! Which would be OK. Send a message, a STRONG one, that you HAVE to police yourself or you WILL face the consequences! IF we have NO controls / oversight, then companies are going to cut corners to make more money which will result in WE the people getting stuff we shouldn't!
