Who lobbied for meningitis victims?


This interesting article on Livingston Daily.com  makes some key points about who is lobbying for those who became ill and those who died:
Is there a connection between the lack of congressional action and the amount of lobbying done by pharmaceutical interests? That would be an interesting topic for Congress to study while trying to deflect responsibility.

There may be no connection. This might have been a rogue company that was operating negligently with tragic results.

One thing is likely. It’s a good bet that none of the Livingston County residents who died had a lobbyist representing them when regulations were being discussed — or ignored — in Washington.
