How is this possible? Why would the FDA deny cough medicine to children? They are very ill, some terminal. This is ludicrous! Codeine has been around for approximately 80 years. Are you going after the sick, disabled children now? Do you realize how this makes you look? You appear to be monsters! Monsters of the type I have never encountered in my 60 years on this planet. CHILDREN!!! This petition is well thought out and expressed.  Please note that the persons signing this, for the most part, are not affiliated with a pharmaceutical company, thereby avoiding conflicts of interest.The goal is simple:  to allow physicians to prescribe codeine to pediatric patients under certain conditions.Please consider these two points when evaluating this petition. When used in the correct patient populations, codeine with acetaminophen is a highly effective scheduled 3 agent. It would be a  serious detriment to lose this drug in our arsenal when treating sickle cell patients.  I support this citizen petition. Why are the children being forced to suffer, its bad enough the government has tortured millions with the  CDC GUIDELINES. Why do these precious children have to suffer more. I beg you please change the  way pain Is Treated today and let these children have some relief. Ive lost all hope in humanity now I beg you change these  awful rules.its the only way and the right thing to do. TY for your time
