At least 344 people in 18 states have been infected by the growing public health crisis and 25 have died so far.

But the epidemic may also play a role in the presidential campaign, now that state records reveal that a Massachusetts regulatory agency found that the New England Compounding Co., the pharmaceutical company tied to the epidemic, repeatedly failed to meet accepted standards in 2004 — but a reprimand was withdrawn by the Romney administration in apparent deference to the company’s business interests.

“It goes directly to the heart of what Romney says about regulation, ‘Hands off. Let the companies do their thing.’”


Wow, business and profits over peoples health.....Way to go willard

The letter added that instead of having the state monitor the company, NECC would be willing to “bear the burden of cost and monitoring and reporting compliance” in exchange for a non-disciplinary resolution.

NECC absolutely failed.

“Romney was responsible for these agencies,” said Oliver, who is the lead attorney attempting to consolidate the meningitis cases. “They reported to him.” She added that under Chapter 13, Section 22 of the General Laws of Massachusetts, members of the Board of Registration in Pharmacy are appointed by the governor.

Does the buck stop with Romney?

I agree, just as I think the Benghazi stops with Obama. Neither gets a pass.

Not the same planet, galaxy or universe.

So, whatever Romney did in 2004 was etched in stone and remained unalterable by any subsequent Administrators in Massachusetts? Ya fuckin kidding me, right?

And as soon as you come up with some significant failure by Obama's administration I'll listen but so far its all been supposition and demands that the government should have revealed classified intel.

WTF does that (bolded) have to do with anything? Did you not read what the attorney said?

Yeh, I read what the attorney said. I won't even begin to consider her interests

My point is that Romney hasn't been in office since 2007. So, has the State had no responsibility since then? Pretty fucking clear to me. What's your problem with the assumption that there were subsequent Administrations responsible for regulating the manufacture of drugs in that state?

Yachtie was so eager to drop a bomb on Obama he missed the little point that Romney's responsibility ended five years ago. Hate to be defending Romney but it is what it is.

Of course the state has. I'm only responding to what the article stated. The problems with NECC did begin under Romney. It's also possible that had Romney nipped it in the bud at the onset none of this might have happened. But that too is an assumption.
