By the metric we're looking at, where a drug gets approved despite a unanimous thumbs down from the official advisory panel? Of course they're less corrupt. This simply doesn't happen unless the FDA is captured.
- vxNsr 5y agoYou’ve painted a black and white painting and are now trying to fit everything in the world into one side or the other. Read through the other comments in the top thread, it’s not nearly as simple as you’re making it out. And as usual the people trying to make it seem simple are either being naive or ignorant.
- oezi 5y agoThe FDA definitely isn't captured. The amount of fear and respect it commands in the industry is big even in the biggest medical device companies. I experienced how a competitor got shutdown, because they took a warning letter too lightly for another product in the same plant. The competitor lost more than 500m USD and never recovered in our market.
