FDA in bed with Big pharma and much more

from Hugo Talks Life Hosted by Hugo Alvarez

FDA is getting funded by big pharma Today, close to 45% of its budget comes from these user fees that companies pay when they apply for approval of a medical device or drug. Changes in more recent years have also increased the number of standard new drug applications approved the first time around by the FDA from 38% in 2005 to 61% in 2018. In diseases where there are not many medication options for patients, the FDA has a priority review process, where 89% of new drug applications were approved the first time around and the approvals were completed in eight months in 2018. All this occurred while the number of new drug applications has been increasing over time. Also, India has sewed the W.H.O for their double standard on to the approval and disproval of IVERMECTIN. This is a pill that costs pennies to make and is making a big change in the fight on COVID-19 or SARS2 with great results to patients. Australia fighting back the lockdowns but you don see much of this on the news or media why?? are they covering something??
