FDA Tells Google-Backed 23andMe To Halt DNA Test Service
Hugh Pickens DOT Com writes "Bloomberg reports that 23andMe Inc., the Google-backed DNA analysis company, has been told by US regulators to halt sales of its main product, the Saliva Collection Kit and Personal Genome Service, or PGS that tells users whether they carry a disease, are at risk of a disease and would respond to a drug because the kit is being sold without FDA's marketing clearance or approval. 'FDA is concerned about the public health consequences of inaccurate results from the PGS device,' says the agency. 'The main purpose of compliance with FDA's regulatory requirements is to ensure that the tests work.' 23andMe was founded six years ago by Anne Wojcicki, who recently separated from her husband, Google co-founder Sergey Brin. The FDA decided in 2010 that services claiming to evaluate a customer's risk of disease must be cleared by regulators if the companies sell directly to consumers. Most FDA-cleared genetic tests are for a single disease while 23andMe's would be the first to test for multiple conditions. 23andMe submitted FDA applications in July and September of 2012 for the least stringent of two types of medical device reviews but the FDA said the company failed to address 'the issues described during previous interactions'."
How many of you believe this crap? Real question, are you fooled or not? If so why>

"I'm not a particularly ideological person," he said, saying pragmatism was necessary to advance the values that were important to him."
This guy is the most openly partisan far left plitical person the country has seen ever, and certaily the most radical statist ever to have achieved the executive office. And he just keeps piling on the bullshit knowing that the media will cover for him at every level, by claiming to be a moderate "regular guy" who isn't pushing an agenda.
Socialized medicine has been the dream of the statist class in this country for generations, this legislation (Obamacare) will effectively place all economic power in the hands of the federal government, resulting in total control over the individual by the government, and has been what Obama and the radical Democrats have put their everything into accomplishing, and it's undeniable that this program is big government socialism from top to bottom.
And yet this genius, who can barely put words to together to form a coherent sentence without a teleprompter, tries to pull yet another lie on the people, that he is a moderate.
And I am betting a whole lot of you are going to believe it.
Am I wrong? If so I am curious, how do you justify this? How can you possibly support this assertion that Obama is not a radical - and highly partisan statist?
