Please, NY, your senators have been on the vine too long. Replace them.

Defined as since some people somewhere think they are a big deal, it will get us clicks. And we are all about clicks. They are collecting a real rogues gallery of dangerous jerks to profile.

Guess we just stopped discussing.

If they split vaccines away from therapeutics, what happens to blood? It’s regulated there as well. All 3 smushed into the same 2 buildings, lots of shared resources, like inspectors, statisticians, shared review expertise. I thought Makary was trying to streamline. Must be to make vaccines a pariah

Some people can’t get their heads around “bad things happen stochastically.” Because if bad things just happen, maybe good things happen by luck and not because they are special, or have God’s grace, or any other silly reasons.

John Yoo is always ready for his next close-up

I think the issue is that science is just collateral damage( ie roadkill) in his stated and immensely strong desire to eliminate the administrative state. Plus science in his mind is not efficient. Showing, of course, that he knows nothing about science. His child’s cystic fibrosis is irrelevant

Read it, if for nothing else, the careful temperate language that still makes a strong conclusion.

And black lung is coming back, and it is worse due to the silica that comes up with the coal in current removal methods.

Yes, this is exactly the comparison that needs made. Some actions are unacceptable.

Seems simple to me.

Ah ha! You have discerned their agenda. CO2 is benign. Nothing to see here. Move along.

Something I would have never thought to see in my lifetime.

Because shareholder value is of course more important than global survival.

This is why we can’t have nice things.

These days, that is the quote of every single day.

Eventually the interests of Palantir ( and Karp, Thiel, et al. ) and the US government will become one and the same. Look for more of these contracts.

Just embarrassing. But what does one expect from Trump and his useful idiot Lutnick.

Bessent, Lutnick are clowns, but Vought is something else. Not a clown, and very dangerous.

And that is pretty shitty

Everything should be posted to their public facing websites. They also historically did social media to “ reach the public”, but the current use of X as the conduit is unprecedented.

Inside the fall of Vinay Prasad at the FDA Prasad's departure followed a campaign by a right-wing activist and a controversy over a rare disease drug.

Really, who needs reality TV, when we have this. Though I assumed he was orchestrating the leaks himself, to control the narrative. But the point that FDA center directors should not be political appointees is loud and clear.

Yeah, a less severe form. That was in the IND.

There is a lot going on running drugs and biologics. Hope he likes being busy. And yes, knowledge may not be useful. But we just tried no knowledge, that didn’t work either.
But maybe Makary’s learning curve increased in slope.

Bldg. 71 bids a fond farewell…

That is hilarious

Yeah, looks like he pissed off a large part of his (?) constituency. They aren’t crying crocodile tears at FDA either, but let’s reserve judgement till we see who is next for permanent appt.

Jaw drops…and what does he recommending to rectify what he perceives as this problem?

“The” Henry Paulson? He needs more troubled assets? But of course dirt and bees can be monetized. Didn’t the Dutch have a booming market in tulips? That worked out well.

I thought Sentinal and cdisc were supposed to fix all that. Guess not, eh? And now they are supposed to be using RWD? Can’t wait.
