Kim Witczak | From Tragedy to FDA Drug Safety Advocate

“I actually thought the FDA would care how a guy went from not sleeping to hanging in five weeks, but they said it was just an anecdotal story.”In this episode of the React 19 podcast, Ann interviews drug safety advocate Kim Witczak. Kim is a Consumer Representative on the FDA’s Psychopharmacologic Drug Advisory Committee.Kim shares her personal story of loss after her husband’s suicide following a Zoloft prescription, which led her to campaign for antidepressant safety reforms, including getting black box warnings on anti-depressants.She draws parallels between her advocacy and current challenges faced by those injured by COVID-19 vaccines, highlighting systemic issues within the FDA, lack of transparency, and the need for informed consent.Kim’s ultimate message is one of hope and empowerment. Her maxim is: “Within us all is the power to create change.”Connect with Kim:Twitter/X: https://x.com/woodymattersSubstack: https://acceptablecollateraldamage.substack.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kim.witczak.1Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kim_witczak/Website: https://www.kimwitczak.com/Also, check out the documentary “Follow the Silenced”https://followthesilenced.com/ If you would like to donate to help those who have suffered so greatly:https://react19.org/donate/Every dollar goes directly to the injured! If you are injured and need help, please check out all the resources at www.react19.orgTo contact React19 directly: https://react19.org/about/contact-us Also check out the documentary “Follow the Silenced”https://followthesilenced.com/ The film reveals the heartbreaking journey of Americans who trusted the science, only to have their lives forever changed by being chosen for the first COVID vaccine trials.
