Excellent work. I am so glad you are drawing attention to fast-tracked drug development and is the same reason I wrote this: https://leemuller.substack.com/p/but-is-it-experimental

An example for sped-up ALS research can found here: https://palexander.substack.com/p/again-the-fda-is-bringing-corrupted

Here is the comment I wrote on Dr. Alexander's post:

Besides a vote, what is the FDA's criteria for approval? I'm not seeing any kind of standard being set or met. Without a standard, what does "FDA Approved" mean anymore? If it is approved, will it be stamped with "Experimental" since the clinical trials have not completed? Why can't they not approve it and just have continuous clinical trials similar to how the Census Bureau switched from a decennial survey to the American Community Survey which is continuous sampling. By "Approving" this blurs the line with "Experimental".

An awesome article, very factual and hard hitting. Alzheimer meds, cholesterol meds, Vioxx covid vax, all "safe and effective"

Fascinating information- I seem to have glossed over your previous work on this subject so I will definitely revisit those (as well as the Science article). I am currently reading Michael Gold’s “A Conspiracy of Cells” as recommended by Joomi Kim on her Substack which again deals with incorrect assumptions that lead to tons of research money wasted. It really takes a strong person to stand up against the crowd and I’m thankful for those who persevere. But yeah, another reason “science” has been leaving a bad taste in my mouth of late. Kudos on another excellent article!

Feed people toxic food, they develop toxic morbidities. Simple.

"Oh but we can make a fortune treating that disease so don't get did of the toxic feed!"

Important to understand that pHarma companies don't exist to help us. They exist to reward shareholders. Which they do stunningly well.
