The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is supposed to protect Americans from unsafe products.  They have a long history of not doing so.  One glaring example, earlier this year, the agency approved an Alzheimer’s drug that:

• May not be safe or effective
• Would cost $56,000/year
• Will contribute to a sharp increase in Medicare premiums

Recently the drug company cut the price for the controversial drug in half.  But I digress.

Decisions that benefit industries while putting Americans at risk seem to be the norm at the FDA.  Experts continue to blame the agency for significantly contributing to the Opioid Crisis.  Nevertheless, Biden’s pick for the new chief has considerable ties to Big Pharma and it’s not going unnoticed.

• Califf has made millions as a consultant for more than a dozen pharmaceutical corporations and holds millions more in pharmaceutical investments (at least 8 million).
