Six scientists and physician are contending that the Food and Drug Administration retaliated against them for trying to warn Congress that medical devices were readied for approval without adequate safety reviews.

Whistleblowers and their insider understanding of the facts and motivations are the only surefire reliable method to force all decision makers into a consistent defensive mode of honesty and where they work for righteousness instead of corrupt cronyism.
If they believe they can be exposed they will see the light and not be corrupted. If they think they can get away with cronyism and be paid for play they will be corrupt. A billion paid to whistleblowers would save a trillion.
