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 Harmful drugs are often slow to be withdrawn from the market.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.
Thanks chatgpt!
Thanks brain!
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.
At this point I dont care who runs the FDA. My son can do a better job! When has the FDA been great???? Thats right never! You know they approve cancer chemicals in our food that its illegal in the rest of the world. Yet you are concerned with some one who is looking to eliminate it??
"It's never been good, so let's just break it even more!"
Removing chemicals from our food is breaking it more????
Their eating the chemicals! Their eating the compounds!
