[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FDA Directors going back to 2009:

Stephen M. Hahn:  Chief medical officer at the venture capital firm that launched Moderna.

Scott Gottlieb:  Pfizer Board of Directors

Robert Califf (two stints as Director, including currently):  so many ties to the pharmaceutical industry that Bernie Sanders wouldn't vote for him to be the FDA Director

Margaret Hamburg:  Board of Directors, Alnylam Pharmaceuticals

Andrew von Eschenbach:  Director of Viamet Pharmaceuticals

Lester Crawford:  only lasted two months before resigning after significant conflicts of interest came to light

But sure, give them more money and more "teeth".

so, what's the solution?

As a PP stated, we can't trust big pharma to police themselves.[/quote]

DP.  Maybe prohibit FDA commissioners from running straight to Pharma as soon as they leave FDA.  I'm sure they could still find someone to run the place -- I don't believe Kessler went into pharma after leaving as commissioner.

Go lookup Commissioner Hahn who was the leader of the FDA during the pandemic and who oversaw the approval of the covid vaccines. He immediately left to go work for the VC firm that basically provided the founding funds for Moderna.  It's insane how low people have ethics requirements and cooling off periods, yet the commissioners like Hahn and Gottlieb can go work at FDA, approve a whole bunch of crap, and then immediately go work for the same companies they had oversight over.[/quote]
