President Donald Trump - J.D. Vance Administration

[BeardedVol]

Trying to understand the point. Are you posting this because the (somewhat misleading) headline says something about Trump? Or “Big Pharma?”

From the article:

“Dr Cavazzoni held her position at CDER from 2020 until last month, resigning just before President Donald Trump's return to office and the nomination of Robert F Kennedy Jr as Department of Health and Human Services secretary.

Dr Cavazzoni, who previously worked at Pfizer before joining the FDA in 2018, is the latest in a long line of former health officials jumping ship for Big Pharma.”

Thought MAGA liked "useless federal workers" voluntarily leaving and getting a "real job" in the private sector?

Since when did the Democrats or any party for that matter care about corruption within the FDA and drug companies? It's been business as usual for decades.

And just to follow up on this my wife works in a related industry. She works in the clinical trials industry.

Her position gives her some insight into how things work. Generally multi year trials. But not always. There was virtually no trial period for COVID vaccines. We were the trials.

The money involved and the wheels that are greased throughout multiple countries to get drugs approved to go to market is astounding. And the guinea pigs, who often have nothing to lose. It's really sad.

Preach.

Little known fact about US guinea pigs and the pharma industry?

About 1/3 of drugs approved by the FDA and prescribed to unsuspecting patients are later taken off the market because they are found to be harmful. Often in horrible and life changing or deadly ways.

And big pharma is bailed out with class action lawsuits instead of individual lawsuits. The people affected often die in destitution and their families left to pick up the pieces. Even then they get next to nothing while the attorneys often take the majority from the class action suit.

Just another way lobbyists have created an industry to fleece us and the government is complicent.
