FDA Approval is based on......

Yes, money makes the world go round apparently, even in R&D of crucial medical products that DEMAND objective, non-biased evaluation by some regulatory body that has no connection to profit motive.

When Drug Reviewers Leave The FDA, They Often Work For Pharma

As I mentioned in another post, the relationship between CDC/FDA and BigPharma is entirely too cozy.

That forty five percent of money coming from drug approvals is only a part of the income that the FDA gets from the pharma companies. Remember those half billion dollar fines or fines of just millions, that money goes to the FDA and the agreement states that those pharma companies can deduct that fine a lot of times from taxes paid to the Feds and state tax agencies over a set period of years. So the Pharma companies don't pay much taxes, it is the taxpayer money which the Pharma companies and chemical companies are giving to the FDA on sort of a loan against future liabilities.

I know the total percentage is up in the mid sixty to almost eighty percentile of payment through various ways coming from the Pharma companies to support the FDA. This raises the price of medicines which people pay in leau of tax increases. We the consumer pay for everything, it is who is running the script that is what we are talking about. The FDA does not want to piss off the people paying them the most.

The only reason they fast approved the Vaxs by the FDA was so they can push these mandates and doctors could say its safe its FDA approved.

True or not, Brand is nor the most popular person in the UK.
Will skip this.

Me too : only listen to popular people on Sundays.

Usually only listen to fools like Brando the rest of the time though.

Ok - ok : am not usually listening to too many popular people on Sundays.

Fools are more interesting, but that's just my take.
