Here we Go.
100% of the people controling those 51 groups certainly voted for Hillary and NOT for Trump and the administration certainly knows that. Trump is the new president, NOT Hillary. These groups are calling for a political decision without regard to science. Deeming relies on statuory authority, not science. Price and Gottlieb are being consistant with Trump's phosophy if they modify the deeming process. May be they can take the position that the FDA approach to their statutory authority is so flawed that they need to stasrt over.
May be a fair question to ask is what would the people who voted for Trump say if Gottlieb uses authority he may have to modify or stop the deeming process. The Trump administration is planning to change a lot of other things over the objections of mostly Hillary voters.
We would like the ecig controversy to be about science and not politics but reality is the reverse. I decided to be a single issue voter in the last election. That meant voting for Trump because he seemed a better bet than Hillary on the ecig issue. I voted against nearly all incombants if I merely didn't know their position on ecigs. Perhaps millions of other voters with their single issues, different from mine, did something similar and that was enough to get a new president who wants to depart from the style of government of the last 8 years. Gottlieb says he wants the FDA to be a trustworty and science based. Banning ecigs from the market via the deeming process would not be consistant with that promise.Here we Go.
Where these orgainizations have voting memberships they are going to select trustees who support their views or promote their agendas. Most of the names seem to be industry groups who probably spend most of their resources lobbying government, not helping people directly. Price and Gottlieb know them better than we do. None of these groups give a rat's behind about us. The more harsh the rules the better they like it.I'll bite the worm.
You might be correct about the voting habits of some of their members, but I think you're way off of the voting habits of their board members.

All I hear are a lot of promising rhetoric, yet to be delivered.We would like the ecig controversy to be about science and not politics but reality is the reverse.

Except I don't have strong views about Trump. I didn't know and still don't know his views on vaping. I just figured he was the best bet on this issue and so far so good.Yeah... But here's the Deal.
Not everyone is a Single Issue voter. And of those that are, e-Cigarette Policy might Not even be the Most Important single issue for them.
So if a Person comes Crashing into a Thread with Strong Views about someone like Trump, aren't they Polarizing much of the Members here to be on One Side or the Other?
They have time, they have other issues, they they have science and politics to consider. I'm hoping for the best but stockpile plans don't change regardless of what happens to deeming.All I hear are a lot of promising rhetoric, yet to be delivered.
That's sums up what politicians do.
It seems "draining the swamp" and replacing it with other creatures that can live in a swamp is working real well, huh.
Until we change government ecosystems, we just continue with tha same carp.
Truth is what they say it is. Just like "some animals are more equal than others".Truth Initiative - apparently their name is misleading.
I can just see the headline now:
Trump administration destroys FDA regulations, to save Tobacco Industry.
And to put More Thought into the Roll Out before they actually doing something?
