FDA Loses Another Expert
Another medical advisor has resigned after politics trumped science in the FDA decision process.
In his resignation letter, [Dr. Frank] Davidoff said he wrote: “I can no longer associate myself with an organization that is capable of making such an important decision so flagrantly on the basis of political influence, rather than the scientific and clinical evidence.”
We can’t protect ourselves from medical emergencies like bird flu when decisions are made based on private prejudice rather than public health.
