What about Theranos? Oh, never mind.

There are many other, ethical companies developing tests for the same panel of pathogens… The problem of inept management is not unique to the sector you seem to single out.

Bottom line: that’s why we need the FDA.

I care very much about the sector! and I want it protected from those who tarnish it. medicine/pharma/biotech is no place for shady folks.
