He's doing precisely what Pfizer wants him to do.

Auditioning for a job or board seat just like Scott Gottlieb.

Which means he should be fired.

Even ignoring the BS study that he’s promoting on behalf of Pfizer, he doesn’t even meet the requirement for fair balance! A pharma sales person would be written up (or fired) and rightly so, if they were caught doing this crap. As a regulatory person I had to constantly tell marketing people that they could not promote of study because of the quality, off label nature etc, and here you have the big cahuna doing exactly that. FDA is failing - every, freakin, day.

Sue Califf for false and misleading advertising. The ONLY thing that ever changes the behavior of people in power is lawsuits. Thank God for courts.

They own the courts and the judges!! Soros installs DA's with his money and Trump is getting railroaded if he J-Walks! What does that tell you about the courts?

I seriously doubt the office of the FDA can be more debased that it already is. He's just continuing with his actual job of carrying water for Big Pharma.

Karma's a bitch.

Always a cover up on the real issue-- OBESITY. Long Covid directly related to fatness. Even getting covid with any degree of discomfort is related to obesity. The FDA and the CDC and the NIH are approving all the obesity drugs ASAP since they fear that their fraudulent BMI will be publicized by others besides me. 65% obese and now 30% of the kids because their fat Mothers gained too much and the kids have too many and too large fat cells. This article was on the front page of the NYTimes 10 years ago, but now the MDs choose to ignore this inconvenient fact. Consumerism ruined our bodies. Lots of money made though.

Thanks Vinay. I appreciate both the heads up and the analysis of the papers (or lack thereof) and where they fail to hold any muster.

It astonishes me on a daily basis how many people still insist on believing that their own government actually has their best interest at heart, while what they have been really doing is depopulating the earth in accordance with their oligarchical masters’ plan.

People like Vinay have come a long way though towards that truth. It's a painful and difficult process for the former cultists to break free. I salute those who do.

Look, I kinda understand Bob's actions... that 300 foot yacht isn't going to pay for itself and diesel isn't cheap anymore...

OMG I just read the part about the tables being from paxlovid treated patients - how many idiots are signatories on that paper and NO ONE caught that? These people are 2nd in line after Claudine for Embarrassment of the Year. What in the Action F is going on???

At a time when trust in U.S. health institutions is so low, their leaders need to be very careful about how they communicate on social media.

Vijay, thanks so much for your work the last three years, you have taught me a lot about epidemiology and critical thinking!

This is new "science"..remember "impending doom" comment by CDC's Walensky? Same with Fauci, this is the new norm, people with MD's or PhD's making claims just because....they can.

The FDA can’t be debased any more than they already are. Does anyone believe anything they say or would say? Can’t trust them. At all. So dangerous

After what has been demonstrated clearly about the agencies and the pharma/agency dynamics, it's really made me reconsider the whole paradigm. I don't trust it at all going forward, and it's caused me to go back and reexamine critically everything I thought was safe and effective before.

Me too. If my son was an infant today, I would never let him be vaccinated. They really screwed up. They made it where now no one trusts them at all.

Oh, and that stupid flu shot is such a scam. That’s awful

I mean, at this point there is such a long list of federal agencies that should be shut down. It’s stunning. Hope they’re proud of themselves. Disgusting

I do wonder what Bob's price ended up being? I do hope it was atleast more than 30 pieces of silver.

I think 'future considerations' may be the objective.

Most definitely

Bob is simply setting himself up for a lucrative big pharma position after his time at the FDA is up. That's all this is about.

The truth has become an inconvenient detail to these people. They can’t stop lying.
