Oh FDA has skin in this game.
Gibney's documentary (highly recommend) reported that the FDA person in charge of approving the label, actually sat in a crappy motel room with a Purdue staffer.
That's like asking the oil and gas company what you think their pollution regulations should be. Which I mean depending on the administration does happen...
That label - based on one piece of flimsy, misinterpreted study - is what gave Purdue an excuse to sell a bunch of BS.
- m0zg 5y agoHere's what'll really cook everyone's noodle: the same exact official who was responsible for Oxycontin (Janet Woodcock) was also responsible for approving the Pfizer vaccine the other day. Not drawing an equivalence here, just showing how these people are consistently able to fail upward somehow and there's now _less than zero_ accountability. Anyone who thinks this is coincidental is, how do I put this diplomatically, not very smart.
