DFA’s FDA Task Force Concerned by FDA Approval of Flavored Vapes This week’s announcement that FDA will reverse course and allow the sale of fruit-flavored vapes is another alarming example of political pressure influencing the regulatory process. www.doctorsforamerica.org/news/stateme...

Our power, our solidarity, and our commitment to patient care knows no borders. Happy International Nurses Day! ✊💫🌏

Only a deep analysis reveals the flaws in the avacopan approval-but the FDA is mandated to do that deep dive. The authority of the FDA to remove drugs from the market even in the face of clear risk is limited by procedural requirements. @drsforamerica.bsky.social

FDA fidelity matters to everyone - not just the medical establishment. When a company manipulates data, and safety signals are brushed off and then the FDA approves a drug we are all not just in the dark, but in danger. @drsforamerica.bsky.social
