So was the FDA.
- acdha 2y agoMore precisely, the FDA’s trust was betrayed by Dr. Curtis Wright IV who did not follow their ethical policies and allowed Purdue to write parts of his review, and then accepted a job with them: https://www.corporatecrimereporter.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Ogrosky20memo-3.pdf https://www.corporatecrimereporter.com/wp-content/uploads/20... The FDA clearly did not have adequate internal controls but I think equating the two is misleading since their failure was in not detecting fraud rather than perpetrating it.
