A Libertarian Campaign to Sidestep the FDA

Post by MachineGhost »

I love Barry Goldwater!  I may have to add this institute to my charity list this year.  Rather predictable response from the cronyists, though.

The laws aren’t a response to demands from patients or lobbying by big drug companies. They’ve been promoted by the libertarian Goldwater Institute, named for Senator Barry Goldwater, the late Arizona Republican. “Our objective is to look at different problems out there and come up with solutions that are liberty-based solutions,”? says Victor Riches, the group’s vice president for external affairs. “These individual patients have a right to try a medication to try to save their own life.”?

But then "they" would win!
"They" being libertarians and patients with otherwise hopeless prognoses, in this case. :P
