A heavily pregnant sow heaves herself to her delicate little feet and staggers from one pool of mud to another, where she flops down again with a contented grunt.

She and a few others have the run of a field the size of a football pitch, but, in the midday heat, they show no inclination to move much beyond the cool of this quagmire.

“F.D.A.’s working hypothesis is that this was intentional contamination, but this is not yet proven,” Dr. Janet Woodcock, director of the Food and Drug Administration’s drug center, told the House Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations in written testimony given Tuesday.

A third of the material in some batches of the thinner heparin were contaminants, “and it does strain one’s credulity to suggest that might have been done accidentally,” Dr. Woodcock said.

The New World Order continues its war on vitamins and minerals by hyping a story on a study from Copenhagen University indicating that taking vitamins increases the risk of death.

It is funny how the big media outlets won’t focus in on the dangers of psychotropic drugs and other horrific crap created by the major pharmaceutical companies.
