"In May, Dr. Vinay Prasad joined the Food & Drug Administration as the top regulator for vaccines, as well as stunningly expensive “biological” medicines"
He has now resigned.
" ... in desperate cases, where people are dying of cancer or kids face terrible genetic illnesses, the FDA should move drugs forward as quickly as possible. But basic clinical trial work is still crucial"
Quite so.
But perhaps "crucial" doesn't imply "essential".
Maybe the real test is not whether "the science" works, it's who can mount the more effective psy-op on the media.
"If the FDA doesn’t hold them to that standard, doctors and patients will. Even desperate parents of sick kids aren’t going to subject their children to gene therapies without hard proof they help"
But history and this resignation say otherwise. Has Covid really taught enough people that they shouldn't necessarily blindly trust everything that emerges from the cornucopia of Big Pharma?
