Caroline Chen of ProPublica has written a provocative article challenging the objectivity of the FDA in its approval of new drugs. Entitled: “FDA Repays Industry by Rushing Risky Drugs to Market”, Chen contends that the agency is beholden to the biopharmaceutical industry which pays three quarters of the FDA’s budget used for the drug review process. This is an astounding number. Is any other federal agency supported to this extent by the industry it regulates? Given this level of support, one might assume that the FDA would bend over backwards to meet the needs of its financial backers.

" . . . one might assume that the FDA would bend over backwards to meet the needs of its financial backers."

That would almost be as insane as politicians passing laws for the citizenry and then exempting themselves. Like that could ever happen. Oh wait...

How many Greek veterinarians does it take to screw things up?

Just one: Albert Bourla

Has anyone dared to ask what Bourla thinks about ivermectin?

we've never needed regular vaccinations as often as the covid ones...

It's seems it is starting to look as though the vaccines are harming the immune systems of those getting them, which in turn makes them even more dependent on the boosters.

Too early for me to tell if these are wrong inferences based on anecdotal evidence, but this whole thing is being so bizarrely handled that it has really muddied the waters.

And in case any of the Vaxxies see this, I had Covid in 02/2020, and apart from temporarily losing my sense of smell and taste (and not even completely at that), my immune system handled it with no problem.

"Bizarrely handled" is dead on! The biggest health crisis of our lifetime and we still do not get calm adequate debates involving both sides. Yet another issue we are divided 50/50 on. By design!

Self fulfilling prophecy... what can u do.

95% of all covid deaths are unvaxxed :)

And 99% of us that get the bug will live.

but you're clogging hospitals and people who need legitimate treatment are dying cause you're taking up space for your selfishness.

That's simply not the case. The staff shortages are real. When a bed cannot be staffed it is not counted in availability. Here in Idaho, they announced a mid September deadline for hospital employees to get the jab or be fired. When they realized around 35% planned to refuse and walk they "extended" the deadline because they were already waaaay understaffed. Why would hospital staff refuse the jab?

because they believe in fake news. or because trump lost. or both.

Please put aside the political partisan nonsense for a brief minute. I personally believe there are very intelligent people on both sides of most debates. There is way more gray than black and white. None of us truly know how this pandemic thing is going to play out. The black population is the least jabbed and probably NOT the biggest Trump demo. When was the last time there was an issue running on MSM that did not divide us down the middle? The plan from the top seems to be working. Stay safe my fellow American.

tuskegee and stem cells are dumb, but understandable and religious excuses.

but white trumpers are just antivaxxing to be spiteful to biden. or because they are also dumb.

I can assure you I am not pro Trump but, yes, I am anti Biden, Hillary and Bush (both of them). I am anti ALL professional politicians. I think both sides need to be careful about calling the other side "dumb". There are so many intentionally dividing "facts" in play right now. Does it not surprise you that they do not allow Dr Pam Poppers, Dr Rashid Buttar or Dr Scott Jensen to enter into the national debate so the team on the side of "truth and science" can just shred them?

so am i. but quacks are quacks. iver-hydro doesn't work.

Respectfully...I personally know four DOCTORS that disagree with you. I am very sure we are being divided by design. I do not pretend to think I have the answers and I will shift my position as soon as I see evidence I should. I am a restaurant / bar / concert venue / nightclub guy, NOT a doctor. In the meantime, I will do what I think is best for me, my family and my community as I believe most of the people that disagree with me are doing as well.

Can you name the last thing any of us saw on CNN or Fox News that all Americans agreed on?

i don't watch either.

i'd like to see evidence that hydroxy/mectin cures covid and that they are better at stopping the spread than a vax.

SSTTUUTTAA...Your point is valid! Respectfully...Can you show 100% valid PROOF that your position on vax is correct? I think, both sides are fed all of the "facts" they need to be sure they are on the right side.

I don't watch any network any more myself. My point is the same...What do we discuss as a country that does not 50/50 divide us?

i'm not the one who made covid political. trump and his base did.

Singapore?

USA baby!

No, Singapore has a 77% vax, but the deaths almost tripled

Same with Israel high vaxx rate in the world and among the high covid rates in the world. Maine has the highest vaxx rate in the US and is among the highest case rates in the US, Funny how that works

astra zeneca banned in USA.

Because of deaths abs side effects. How ignorant are you?

That's right. The vaccines used in united States are safe

You would have done very well as a Brown Shirt in 1930s Germany. You follow the State propaganda line to the letter, and appear to be wholly devoted to the State. The New World Order will welcome you gladly, as unfortunately, so to will Hell.

Johns Hopkins is state propaganda?

https://www.google.com/search?q=johns+hopkins+covid+numbers

Johns Hopkins is state propaganda? Are you really that stupid? where do you think the vast majority of John Hopkins money comes from? Directly or indirectly probably 85 to 90% of their money comes from the government of pharmaceutical compiles they are not going to derail that gravy train.

UGH! sorry for the misspellings

I guess you would only be happy with a trump hospital is that right?

"Johns Hopkins is state propaganda?"

Follow the money. btw- finding a source that agrees with what you worship is proof of nothing. Finding sources that disagree with your brainwashing is freedom.

tell the doctors their hospitals are full of hoaxes.

"https://www.google.com/search?q=nurses+and+doctors+quit+because+of+burnout"

Wow, you really are desperate. Sad, so so sad.

New York is about to fire all of these "burned out" doctors and nurses against their will, and replace them with National Guard, not unlike all good little tyrannies have done throughout history. Your narrative is a false one, and it displays how simple you are.

they are quitting because conservatives refuse to vax.

"they are quitting because conservatives refuse to vax."

One of two things appears to be true- you are desperately stupid, which is not meant as an insult- you cannot control the level of intellect you were born with, or you are truly brainwashed to the point of being a thoughtless drone, regurgitating whatever CNN/MSNBC/ETC tells you to believe.

That's an unusually large amount of medically trained Conservatives, especially when you liberals seem to believe that Conservatives are generally uneducated and not interested in science. Of course, you are wrong about this, as you are wrong about nearly everything in your belief system.

i hope you're not in the medical field. because if you are and unvaxxed, you should be fired.

If only you could think for yourself.

If only . . . :(

ah yes, conspiracy against the white male.

200,000 minimum dead, and counting: https://populist.press/johnson-johnson-scientist-admits-devastating-truth-about-vax/?fbclid=IwAR1vKYD9KnlM7UUM-A4ty8fiyyg3Vci4F_7slD4Ncsi3lh8RKou30u4gPc0

fake news

"That's right. The vaccines used in united States are safe"

And yet the Project Veritas videos have insiders telling us that over 200,000 have already died from the vaccines.

PV is fake news.
