A short supply of cancer drugs has doctors and patients worried: 'We're at a critical juncture'
USA TodayAPR 2023
The FDA has been engaged in blatant drug approval corruption for a long time, with one of the most recent examples being its “warp speed” approval of the COVID vaccines. This negligence runs deep, as the FDA has a history of not properly overseeing a wide range of clinical trials and not adequately publishing any errors. The FDA’s entire process endangers public health and is unacceptable.
Some critics say the FDA approves drugs too quickly, while others say the agency works too slowly. The truth is that the FDA independently analyzes each medication and its clinical trial while weighing the impact of a treatment reaching the market. For oncology drugs, speed to market is a life-or-death matter, and the FDA knows that. In other cases, the FDA can take its time conducting trials. Overall, the agency takes a pragmatic approach to its regulatory process.
