Sure, do you want evidence that generic manufacturers don't follow strict quality control and equivalency testing? I can dig those up from the FDA's database.

Do you want evidence that generics manufacturers fake their equivalency tests? This is going to be harder, because the FDA doesn't publish the private sector data. I can try to see what I have on hand.

Do you want evidence that the FDA doesn't prosecute these huge problems? I can only point to the routine handing out of the equivalent of "yellow cards," i.e warnings of misconduct, but still allowing repeat-offenders to sell in the U.S.

Considering the large degree to which your claims contradict the conventional wisdom of "generics are just as good as name brand drugs," it would be good if you actually gathered and presented some of this evidence (and demonstrated that these issues are prevalent/damaging enough to matter) instead of just threatening to do so.

That’s nice, but we all want you go dig that up.

Please feel free to provide some citations. I think if you make claims that you say are easy to dig up evidence for, it would be good if you did so.
