What would you say about the FDA's recent approval of aduhelm? Do we know that it works "for certain"? Or is the FDA not part of the medical science establishment?
- jcranmer 5y agoThe FDA's scientific committee nearly unanimously voted against aduhelm. The political side of the FDA overruled that consensus to give preliminary approval, which has been thoroughly panned by a large portion of the medical and scientific community, prompted three resignations from said committee, and has prompted a Congressional investigation. Aduhelm's approval basically came about in violation of the FDA's processes, so it's hopefully merely a one-off example of corruption rather than a harbinger of the death of science at the FDA.
