Endorsement for Dr. Rost as new FDA Commissioner

"Dr. Rost has a unique combination of sterling qualifications for FDA Commissioner: knowledge of pharmaceutical medicine, knowledge -- both as an insider and as a reformer -- of how the drug industry actually works, knowledge of the political and legislative processes at work, and passion second to none for those things an FDA Commissioner should be most concerned about -- the integrity of the pharmaceutical industry and how it affects the health and welfare of the public."

Peter,

Here are some other comments I have received from people who have voted for you:

he is the best looking

because he knows the industry in and out, has shown to have a lot of integrity. His marketing experience is also an interesting plus for the job.

Rost is not afraid to "take on" the pharmaceutical industry when they take advantage of the American citizen. He has proved he has the guts to call it like he sees it.

1.His tremendous integrity. 2.His commitment to protect interests of consumers by fearlessly exposing wrongdoing by Drug Companies. 3.His Qualifications For This Job:: (a) His educational qualifications and knowledge of medical science. (b) Inside-out knowledge of Pharmaceutical and Healthcare Industry backed by super-experience. (c) Experience as an Expert Witness. (d) Intelligent, shrewd and excellent grasping of subject matter (only a fool will attempt to fool him). (e) Assertive yet collaborative.

He's smart, fiesty, tenacious, moral, determined, and motivated. He's seen the good, the bad, and the ugly and can cite examples of each. You couldn't do better.

He's honest

Given Rost's professional qualifications and career experience, he is the ideal commissioner because he knows the industry and will not put the interests of Pharma ahead of public safety.

Management skills and insight into pharma industry.

He knows how Big Pharma operates, isn't owned by them and probaly wouldn't be bought, either. He is also two cents short of a dollar, which helps.

The perfect poacher turned gamekeeper; knows all the tricks!

Brilliant intellect. Uncorruptable.

Peter Rost has stood up and blown the whistle when Big Pharma has been corrupt. He would be excellent.
