The FDA’s policies have faced significant criticism for jeopardizing consumer safety. For instance:
Drug Approval Issues: Fast-track approvals have introduced drugs with limited evidence of safety, such as Aduhelm for Alzheimer’s, which showed little benefit but posed risks. Harmful drugs are often slow to be withdrawn from the market.
Food Safety Loopholes: The GRAS designation allows companies to self-certify food additives without FDA oversight. Substances like potassium bromate, linked to cancer and banned internationally, remain in U.S. foods due to regulatory gaps.
Industry Influence: Close ties between FDA leaders and corporations raise concerns about conflicts of interest and impartiality in decision-making.
Weak Post-Market Oversight: The FDA lacks resources to monitor and act on safety issues after products are on the market, leaving harmful substances in circulation.
Some decision-makers should be held accountable for actions or policies that have negatively impacted public health and safety. A comprehensive overhaul of the food system is urgently needed to prioritize transparency, improve nutritional standards, and ensure consumer well-being.
I think it’s hilarious that you think that the guy with the worm eaten brain is going to fix any of that.
Oh and one of the biggest problems with the FDA is its lack of personnel. And this asshole is threatening the fire most of them. Don’t think the next 4 years are going to be a better FDA. It’s going to be an absolute shit show and rather than putting safeguards in place this dipshit’s going to be removing them left and right. Because that’s what the right wing wants, less regulation is the watchword of the Republican party and always has been.
I hate to break it to you but the FDA has always been a shit show! Change is good!
Hate to break it you, but installing a conspiracy theorist anti vaxxer isn’t the change you’re looking for.
True story, I went to my doctor about losing some weight as I was close to getting diabetes. For some reason, my doctor loudly proclaimed “Here is a prescription for some meds” while handing me the prescription.
It wasn’t a prescription for meds. My doctor wrote “Due to Big Pharma and the FDA listening in, I have to prescribed various meds. You really should eat healthy diet that has a healthy amount of calories made up of vegetables and fruit. I needed get exercise and should spend time outside to help everything.”
Big Pharma is everywhere! /s
Yeah, that is unfortunate. A broken clock is right twice a day though.
Dude needs to take his Sméagol-sounding ass back to Middle Earth and leave science to those who, in the least- least have a rudimentary knowledge of it.
