Our columnist Steve Milloy—junk science debunker—takes another charge at the bogus silicone breast implant scare. Like so many other liberal-left activist-led examples of junk-science-based hokum over the years, the silicone breast implant baloney must be exposed for what it is.
The column is called “Fair Hearing for Breast Implants?”, and as usual, he uncovers some amazing facts and brings them to our attention.
Here’s a snippet:
In October 2003, an FDA advisory panel had voted to approve silicone breast implants, but trial lawyer-backed activists succeeded in creating a circus of the process. In 2004, the FDA decided to delay approval of silicone breast implants pending the collection of more safety data. The new data are in and, to no one’s surprise, silicone implants once again appear to be safe.
[…] Last week, the National Organization of Women, National Women’s Health Network, National Research Center for Women and Families, and the National Council of Women’s Organizations began circulating a letter to get senators to oppose the FDA advisory committee’s endorsement of silicone breast implants and any forthcoming FDA approval.
Trying to exploit the Vioxx controversy, the letter shrieks in bold italics, “It is imperative to tell the [FDA] Commissioner that silicone breast implants should not be approved for general use until there is evidence that they are safe for long-term use.”
The letter, however, fails to mention that the study subjects in the October 2004 study were followed for over 12 years, on average.
