@thegarybrecka Does how you worked out, played sports and moved as a child affect how your body likes to move as an adult…on a cellular level does your childhood activity level alter what you need as an adult? Example: does HIT as a youth equal HIT needed as an adult
I’ll never understand why people wouldn’t want proper testing and trials for something injected into their body — Instead we just blindly trust. No thanks.
The same goes for investigating the link between psychiatric meds and violence. Why are we so afraid of asking the hard questions—especially when lives are on the line?
FDA Reform—With all the investigations being launched on our federal agencies including the drug safety and approval process, it’s time to revisit these bills that SHOULD have passed on the FDA during the reauthorization (PDUFA) process we worked on in 2007! These bills were introduced in response to public concerns over drug safety and the need for greater transparency in clinical trials. They didn’t pass then, they need to now.
In 2007, Senators Chuck Grassley and Christopher Dodd introduced two significant pieces of legislation aimed at enhancing the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) oversight and transparency:
1 - Fair Access to Clinical Trials (FACT) Act of 2007 (S.467): This legislation aimed to create a publicly accessible registry of clinical trials and their results, regardless of the outcomes. The goal was to enhance transparency and provide the public with comprehensive information about clinical trials. https://t.co/rZQPy6VuUg
2 - Food and Drug Administration Safety Act of 2007 (S.468): This bill proposed the establishment of a separate Center for Post-market Drug Evaluation and Research within the FDA. The center would have been empowered to require manufacturers to conduct post-marketing clinical trials to ensure drug safety and could levy fines of up to $2 million for each 30-day period that manufacturers failed to complete these studies. https://t.co/7ImJpyUtNC

I can only imagine what you know if you were there during this time.
For me, I just think about the FDA documents that came out of my litigation that show the FDA officials on 1991 knew they would “would come under attack by constituencies that do not believe the agency is being as demanding as it ought to be in regards to establishing the efficacy of antidepressants drug products.”
See document below.
Context - it was during AIDS crisis and the FDA was under a lot of pressure to approve drugs faster.
