well
you'll
do you have
rit written this in for the day this
boldly get into the sink it is
meningitis outbreak for small give us some background on the
us there's this desk this this compound in pharmacy in massachusetts that it has
been shipping out stuff that's been killing pick-up armitage that cake
pharmaceuticals and put them together in
and a compound inform produced
uh... an indication of how it would uh... between the steroid we're talking
about
the canadian planet or a pub near used to
reduced back pain but they are not regulated well
and in part a regulated by the food and drug administration but not very well
and in part by kato others paid or detective agency is well but at the
board of registration of pharmacies in massachusetts which reports to the
governor of massachusetts
and in that case you have uh... the new england compound in center
uh... is the any cc
is being blamed for really a horrifying
uh... meningitis outbreak over uh... roughly three hundred fifty people
uh... have come down with the disease twenty-five had died
mississippi in the inflammation of the of the menninger is is that was called
the the the tissue the surrounds the brain
right demand the membrane had to ram the brain and the spy
and uh... i
this was truly affordable
uh... but what what we have is that uh... uh... this man anne cc a
pharmaceutical center in massachusetts appears out to be taking the blame have
been struck down now
either out of operations now uh... fifteen viale uh... of beer uh...
uh... of the drug in question mister right
in question we kept it in all fifty were found to be contaminated with this
fungus that causes the meningitis that affects exactly exactly which they found
elsewhere in the factory now what does this have to do
with the republican party
call role in the flossie he's peddling and more specifically given
that you know that were
or a week of the election moralist
uh... there on it
right well this of
to understand this pharmaceutical company was closely regulated by the
state massachusetts
and the governor of the time was mit romney
and he appointed uh... he he was in charge of appointing the people of the
board who was close to be regulating this
and during his tenure deregulate
it's all had you regular became the regulated the regulator
and i i think what we're seeing here and i'm in no way let let me back a little
bit did you say that never on the apply to the board of people with the specific
mission of deregulating companies like this pharmacy will kill me rather than
regulating them
well you want to let loosely regulated
uh... let them it lacked regulations went directly to what they want to do
leapt unto moses their deaths
and in that case we see that part of the interaction
and any key she was
sided for violations six times
uh... during long weekend here
uh... bed between uh... two thousand three which is uh...
and you can't do it that would put it in
uh...
and uh... and one point they were up for three year repre probation
and it would be lawyer for the head of the company wrote to the ports and will
really get a little bit step
uh... it'll put it'll be devastating to our business
you know what we would like to bear the burden and regulate ourself
and that's effectively what happened
now that during this period i should pay to uh... and and new york man was uh...
uh...
did get meningitis and i do agree that the county in two thousand four log of
brawl romney was governor and was actively deregulating this pharmacy that
has that killed a number of people
mission exactly in the plane partly settled out of court in this case it
would it be your outing
in two thousand and poor
welfare there were a good reason to be observant of them
uh...
and what you can let the correspondent canberra been released and when you read
the correspondent it sort of shocking
because at one point they're caught with three more in track and
and the lawyer for the the the editor coming right back to the board you know
what
uh... well we we we taking care of all that
million and that that uh... ca
two or three caterpillar
uh... in other words were regulating ourselves which had tried everything
everything under control don't bother with us
and they just let it go and that was the end of the so-called regulation
unintended and yet this company's when i was recently inspected
was found to have this this fungus all over the place was it not
right at the time it didn't really expect that it couldn't have them
outright
so far and it's a hard time now
and uh... and right now we have twenty five people dead there well over three
hundred others who are of
who are suffering and we don't know they're they're afraid yet
uh... uh... well over ten thousand people were injected with the compound
uh... it had been recalled valerie i think seventeen thousand baht while
called what wall in the deep probably an exaggeration to say the mit romney's
policies are actions led to the death of twenty five people
he would not be an exaggeration to say the faucet field
motivates me around these actions
has led to the death of twenty five people and who knows how many more or
you think i'm being too nice to him
no i don't know i i i think uh... you know appointed pecking recover a lot of
the republicans don't like to have chapters
but i i'm in new york right now in on the import shipment good going on about
uh... that uh... making see my uh... a putting although the responsibilities on
the state or better yet
privatizing it well
whittling issue casting like this you know there is a role for the federal
government
and generally there's a role for government when it comes to regulating
pharmaceutical company
and uh... i here usually are
uh... gross failure in that regard and twenty five people
uh... are are dead let me go through it
uh... would it be
safe to say that
little romney's lax regulation might have
led to the stand jessup earn
and absolutely absolutely it's uh... you know that there will be lawsuits over
that time sir
there'll be more information about what the board members uh... which e words
are there there were also obviously you you have gone
a campaign contributions to out thirty seven thousand dollars were raised in a
fundraiser for the republican
senatorial are candidate got grounded here mobbed by it would be owner of the
company
uh... company can tell you something given ten thousand dollars in the
meningitis foundation you know anything about this
but probably around in
in july rule that was one of the uh... ten senators who wrote a letter of the
food and drug administration
requesting even looser regulations on these compound acceptors amazing
so there you have a directly uh... acquitted in a and m and a coral
uh... prosecute proper
uh... marami himself as alva
donations uh... but he also pointed uh... remembers and and i think more
needs to be done
to find out exactly what they knew what their relationship was to destructing so
poor
this now you wrote the book or call rolf does does he play any role in the school
uh... wants rohan
not to my knowledge though he's been a great proponent of uh... deregulation as
well
and uh... krueger features in which it says you know this is a
uh... is if this is what's right with countries that regulations as was three
and prevent rolly certainly a vehicle for shifting money from companies that
don't wanna be regulated republican canceled country he's doing that in the
hundreds of dollars
