83% of the FDAs user fee income in 2024 came from the fucking tobacco industry!
In a filing sent to an appeals court on Wednesday, an attorney for the Department of Justice (DOJ) suggested that premium cigar companies have paid more than $100 million to the FDA in user fees.
The user fee system is somewhat complicated, mainly because it is set by Congress and not by FDA itself. The total amount of user fees is set each year—for FY2024, it is $712 million—which is divided up between various tobacco segments. The exact amounts are based on the percentage of each product class—cigarettes, cigars, etc.—paid in excise taxes during the previous year and then divided amongst the various companies making said products. The exact amount a company owes is based on how many products that company imported in the previous year. The user fees themselves are paid quarterly.
Cigarettes—still the dominant tobacco product category—account for more than 83 percent of user fees in FY2024, around $148.7 million per quarter. The cigar category—which includes both premium and mass market cigars—is projected to pay $25.5 million per quarter.
The Prescription Drug User Fee Act was passed in 1992 and allows the FDA to collect fees from drug companies seeking approval of products.
The fees provide funding that helps the agency speed the review and approval process, the FDA said.
"Speed" the review and approval, eh?
Spokespersons for Pfizer and the FDA confirmed the payment was for the fee required under the law.
Legal bribes are still bribes, and I had NO idea that the FDA was basically suckling off the tobacco industry teat. 83% of their user fees, FFS
The study, published last week in the International Journal of Innovative Research in Medical Science, found reports of 5,137 cases of cerebral thromboembolism after COVID-19 shots over 36 months. This compares to 282 cases for all vaccines over the past 34 years.
The data also indicated 9,821 reports of atrial fibrillation — an irregular heart rhythm that is "the most common identifiable cause of cerebral arterial thromboembolism" — following COVID-19 vaccination in 41 months, compared to 797 cases reported in 34 years for all other vaccines combined.

What a worthless bitch. You could see it before she opened her mouth
Imagine having a worthless expanse of grass instead of food-producing plants and trees. Imagine being worthless enough yourself to think aesthetic maintenance of that worthless expanse of grass is absolutely necessary while being "beneath you" at the same time.

Are you fuckin retarded? Just checking.
U.S. federal employees made personal donations to Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris’ campaign, but the agencies that employ them did not make contributions using taxpayer money, as claimed in social media posts referencing data from the non-partisan organization OpenSecrets.
Bwahahahaha! They're saying those totals came from contributions of individual employees of those agencies. Bullshit
Such a simple post, but I can't quit chuckling about it. People keep asking me why I just burst out giggling every now and again. Elon is funny af

I hadn't heard about that. Had to go to Yandex to find info on it, as the other search engines wouldn't retrieve any results concerning it.
When Dressen first sought reimbursement for medical care, AstraZeneca offered $590.20, which she refused for being "far less" than the amount she actually needed.
This is what these companies think of their guinea pigs

Yeah, they can't just arrive with 30,000 fraudulent Harris ballots and run them all through in a big chunk without blending them in with valid ballots. That would be ridiculously obvious, like it was last time.
But FEMA said Monday there are no plans at this time to locate equipment at Wurtsmith, which was decommissioned as an Air Force base in the early 1990s.
"We have no trailers at the location or on the way," the agency said in a statement. "This is an unfortunate misunderstanding."
"When I made my report at our township board meeting, I mentioned FEMA was bringing in 350 semis," Palmer told The Detroit News. "What I meant to say was they were considering Wurtsmith as a secure location.
Sounds like Palmer might just be a retard. FEMA might be full of shit but they'll have a hard time hiding 350 trucks if they are.
I'd be super pissed if my political candidate took contributions and gave them to millionaire celebrities
Following the globalist agenda always turns a political party into shit, regardless of what name they call themselves
