Shannon You’s story is about so much more than just Coca-Cola’s other secret recipe.

    I’ve been a pharmacist for over 30 years and earned my BS in Pharmacy then my Doctorate and have specialized in Geriatrics and Pharmacology. I have worked in industry in QC &RD, home infusion, hospital, community retail, LTC, teaching etc. I am not being mean but in my experience most recalls and quality/safety issues did originate from India based companies. Affordable because corners are cut, practices are not uniform, staff is exploited and … quote unquote one Indian pharmacy manager told me when I discovered an error another pharmacist authorized which led to the death of a 78 F… “It’s not a big issue. That’s why we have insurance. Let me deal with it”. I was transferred to another location and not permitted to follow up. I reported them to state authorities.

    I’m so glad American investigators and inspectors and regulators are working to protect people. Thank you for posting.
  • @havencat9337

    The first women ruined her career because of greediness will never be employable
  • @kennethvenezia4400
    She said crime in Singapore is low? The whole place is loaded with crime and criminals, and most of them are at the bank
  • @bfrancis9898
    My doctor specifically warned me to choose non-Indian manufacturers for generic prescriptions. We are on our own. I always thought we paid our government to make sure bathtub chemists don’t get access to our people. There are NO adults. 😮

    It is interesting that a London-based British investigative journalist finds out about financial crimes in Singapore but somehow didn’t find anything about Singapore-on-Thames a.k.a. Londongrad a.k.a. The City that has been laundering money for African dictators, drug cartels, arms dealers, Russian oligarchs and helping rich individuals hide their income and avoid paying taxes.

    Making it potentially difficult for the honest Chinese to be trusted in America. It's a disgusting thing to do in so many ways. We all suffer for the uncontrolled greed. Greed is the root of nearly all evil, money is simply a tool.
  • @user-by6ul7di4b
