The really laughable thing is that the State of Maryland issues a financial grant to BIEL for the promotion of its products and BIEL is nominated for an award in the UK, instead of the USA?
Looks as if the Maryland money was successfully spent! But, it makes us look very foolish here. How embarrassing for the USA and the FDA.
Had BIEL won the award Boots did, would President Obama have made a phone call, heard on CNN and touted on CNBC, or the WSJ? How many dozen DC and Maryland politicians would have squeezed into the photo Op of the award with BIEL employees? We should be encouraging and praising American innovation, not crippling them. How many other situations like this are haunting the halls of the FDA or DC? Shameful.
