While I respect the FDAs intentions and notable positive actions, I would like to present several articles from reputable sources describing the FDA as a "revolving door" for various industries - an obvious inlet for corruption, dubious research, delayed actions, etc. As I understand it, this is a well known issue.
I believe it is important to be vigilant and critical when it comes to three letter acronyms.
That is fair and skepticism is warranted. A lot of those links point to one study by vinay prasad, who has a reputation as something of an alarmist. Just want to make sure people don't take that study to definitively claim a trend where none may exisr
While you may be right about Vinay Prasad being an alarmist (I have no idea), the second article is actually based on a bill written by 7 senators with (seemingly) no relation to Vinay's work.
