=================================================
It's a rare occasion when I post a companies press release. This is a great merger and one that the FDA, Pharmaceutical industry and ICE should be looking at to assist them. You see, these kinds of mergers are going to get us to the core of where the terrorism funding is still coming from. It's a fact that the counterfeiting and piracy of the pharma business is putting money in the hands of crime and terror operators. Companies like Biocode have for years been one of the leaders in helping all concerned parties interdict the flood of bogus drugs into the supply chain. Not only are the people who need the right prescriptions being harmed, the health care industry is paying a huge price for a lack of controls on the supply chain.
