FDA Seizes Killer Hospital Beds

I kid you not. This is a CNN headline.

My God, these beds are supposedly responsible for as many as seven patient deaths.

Now was it 27,000 or 55,000 estimated dead from Vioxx complications before the FDA ordered a voluntary recall only to reverse itself based on a panel populated with doctors getting money from the pharm industry?

Because I tell you, as a former Vioxx user, that I can now rest easy tonight because of federal marshals being sent out to seize beds. You'd almost think there are terrorists or something we could be using marshals for.
