Blowing the Whistle on the FDA

Blowing the Whistle on the FDA

Author: Logan Christopher December 15, 2020 Duration: 11:03

Renee Dufault finds traces of mercury in corn syrup. The FDA tells her not to investigate.

Rosemary Johann-Liang wants to place a strong warning label on the drug Avandia. Her superiors transfer away her responsibilities on that drug.

David Graham says of the deadly Vioxx, “I would argue that the FDA, as currently configured, is incapable of protecting America against another Vioxx. We are virtually defenseless...Vioxx is really a symptom of something far more dangerous to the safety of the American people. Simply put, FDA and its Center for Drug Evaluation and Research are broken.”

And that’s just the start.

This episode also features the FDA spying, a criminal investigation of the head of the FDA, and even more whistleblowers.

What Senator Grassley said kind of says it all. "Secret monitoring programs, spying on Congress and retaliating against whistleblowers -- this is a sad commentary on the state of affairs at the FDA.”
