Jim Jam

I just came across a new web site, www.thoreau-fda.com/index.php.

It defines itself as “a website launched and operated by current and former US Food and Drug Administration staff who believe public health is being put at unnecessary risk. These concerned civil servants and ex-civil servants have either experienced or are aware of wrongful directives by US FDA upper management – directives that put public health at avoidable risk.”

That’s nice.  But when you check out to whom the site is registered, it turns out to be Jim Dickinson of FDAWeb.com – no fan of the FDA and no former FDA employee.

Oh well, so much for transparency.

Perhaps Jim should heed the words of Mr. Thoreau, to wit:

“If you would convince a man that he does wrong, do right.”
