#FDA Com. Marty Makary is under renewed scrutiny amid continued turmoil at the agency, including a series of high-profile departures….
The pending exit of Dr. Richard Pazdur, a veteran researcher who pioneered the FDA’s approach to #cancer treatments, has caused the most concern…. Pazdur plans to “retire” just weeks after accepting a role heading the FDA’s largest division overseeing prescription #drugs, OTC #medicines & pharmacy staples.

Pazdur’s departure comes amid wider clashes with #FDA top brass over who should lead the agency’s key departments, & how to balance sped-up #drug reviews with #QualityControl, acc/to 3 people familiar with the dynamics within the agency.
Pazdur’s breaking point happened when Makary pressed him to replace career drug regulators with his own hand-selected hires, those people said.

Makary up to now has been a close personal ally of #HHS Secy #RFKJr. But Kennedy, who met with Pazdur for an hour on Wednesday, has grown frustrated with the public turmoil, sources say.
Pazdur’s departure has triggered broad concern across the admin, & within the #pharmaceuticals industry, over the potential that it could destabilize the #drug review process & erode confidence in the #FDA, once seen as the world’s gold standard regulators of #drugs & #vaccines.

There is a reason we have the FDA and regulations. Safe Food!!!
I often wonder if my wheat issues are more related to pesticides. In particular ones banned by the EU. If the food is EU safe, I can eat it.

It wasn't even the soybeans that had the problem.
The cargo ships that carried the soybeans had OTHER cargo holds with wheat in them. The wheat had pesticide levels that were too high.
So the grain terminals that filled those ships have to clean up before their shipments can be accepted in China.
