FDA Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary just dropped the hammer.
He’s saying no more pharma insiders on FDA advisory panels.
Well, it’s about time.
He says the agency needs independent scientific reviews, not industry influence.
On Megyn Kelly’s podcast, Makary agreed it’s time to cut ties that blur trust and transparency.
The phrase that comes to mind is “conflict of interest”.
RedState reports:
President Donald Trump’s head of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Dr. Martin A. “Marty” Makary announced major policy changes on Thursday at the agency and said they will no longer allow pharma members to be part of FDA advisory panels, removing further conflicts of interest.
During the Sirius XM “The Megyn Kelly Show” podcast, Kelly pointed out that almost every former FDA commissioner has left the agency and gone into “Big Pharma,” which she said makes it harder to count on them to be honest about a drug’s impact.
The newly-confirmed FDA Commissioner agreed, and said the “scientific evaluation” of drugs needs to be independent.
“That’s why today we are announcing we’re removing industry members, pharma members, from FDA advisory committees,” Makary said. “I was shocked when I learned that employees of big pharma companies sit on FDA advisory committees as members of those committees.”
“So we’re going to be replacing them, whenever statutorily possible, with patients and family caregivers,” he added. “We’re going to be inviting pharma companies to send representatives to the advisory committees, but they can sit with the rest of the public and watch and pose questions as the rest of the American public can… the idea is that there should not be a cozy relationship.”
Uh-oh. Big Pharma isn’t going to be too happy about this.

… Poor Big Pharma.
They can’t seem to catch a break.
And they’ve only made $500 billion from drugs treating vaccine injuries. How are they expected to survive on that?
It’s diabolical

It’s good thing we’ve got President Trump’s men dealing with this because the FDA has a shady compromised past…
Between 2006 and 2019, 9 out of 10 FDA commissioners went on to work for the pharmaceutical companies they were in charge of regulating.
Approximately 65% of the FDA’s drug review budget comes directly from the pharmaceutical industry.
