Just admit you're wrong, Dreck, you dope

Here's the noted "ar" liar "St" Tom's quote:

Professor Cohen surely must know that many drugs
that have cleared animal tests are later found to be
toxic for humans. A 1990 report issued by the
General Accounting Office found that approximately
50 percent of the FDA-approved drugs investigated
either had to be taken off the market or relabeled
because of their toxic effects on the people who
were using them.

The liar "St" Tom is talking about FDA-approved drugs.
If they're FDA-approved, that means *necessarily*
they were not "removed" from the approval process short
of approval by any of the three phases of human
clinical trials that occur prior to approval. Rather,
they are relabeled or, rarely, withdrawn following
approval when some problem with them develops, a
problem that the three phases of human clinical trials
did NOT catch.

When such a problem appears, lying "aras" absurdly
single out the pre-approval testing phase that had the
LEAST to do with establishing safety of the compound
for prescription to humans, and say that it is
"unreliable" and should be discontinued. That is the
great, vile "ar" lie of omission: they omit to
acknowledge that three phases of human testing also
were required for approval, and these three phases were
much more deliberately focused on establishing safety
of the drug. If the drug "fails", it should be the
human testing phases that are attacked, if anything.
But that doesn't suit the lying "aras'" polemical
purpose: they prefer to lie. The vile polemicis "St."
Tom Regan certainly lies, as he makes no mention of
human testing, and does not acknowledge the several
instances where Professor Cohen says it.

The quote should read:

Professor Regan surely must know that all drugs that
receive FDA approval and subsequently cause human
injury or death passed three phases of human
clinical trials in addition to the one animal
testing phase that wasn't even intended to establish
general human safety. So why does he lie by
omission and ridiculously try to make the animal
testing carry all the moral weight of the failure?

I've omitted nothing relevant. Lying "St" Tom is lying
about drugs that are approved by the FDA, meaning drugs
that were NOT "removed" as a result of the three phases
of human clinical trials. Admit you were wrong.
That's all this is about now: your error in claiming
we are talking about drugs that "passed" animal testing
(which isn't intended anyway to establish human safety)
and subsequently were "removed" in one of the three
phases of human testing required for approval.

The drugs were NOT "removed" in human testing, you
moron, they passed the phases and were approved by the
FDA. Admit either that you are in error or are lying.
