The FDA is Bragging that the US Approves Drugs Faster than Europe by Len Saputo, MD

Video Information

Americans last year got access to 24 new medications before they became available in Europe. User fees from drug companies made this possible; they now provide about 1/3 of all funding that the FDA gets. This sets up a serious conflict of interest for the FDA that makes them beholden to Big Pharma's wishes.

Far too many look alike drugs are brought into the marketplace because patents run out and new sources of revenue are needed to provide a hefty return on investment. The FDA stated that user fees helped approve 34 of the 35 drugs they were planning to review.

The FDA works with pharmaceuticals, regardless of not doing their own research, they take the drug companies studies at face value. The object of eliminating diseases is not "how fast you push drugs out the door" many of which have killed people, but how safe are they? The conflict of interests, run deep and this system is totally corrupted. The approval panel, hire ex-pharma executives instead of independent scientists to approve drugs. The US system is as said Totally Unethical.
