Thank you very much for watching that whole committee meeting and giving us insight into how it works. You are awesome! The regulatory capture is obvious from the outside, and you have shown how it works on the inside. 👍🏼

It is indeed disheartening to see how sausages are made. Although I did not have a chance to watch this one, I did watch the vaccine committee consider the Pfizer shots for 5-11 year olds in its entirety. and all I could do was shake my head.

BTW, I don't think the FDA ever does its own research or studies. It is up to the company seeking approval for the product to submit such data. I suppose the FDA might also take independent research into account, but it would be rather unusual for independent research to exist when it comes to a new drug.
