Senate Confirms Robert Califf as Head of FDA.

Does anyone think this will be helpful as far as the deeming goes?

No. Califf is a genuine Pharmafia shill, even bigger than his predecessor. His appointment has secured FDA's position as Pharma's lapdog. Very bad for vaping

It was their opposition that made me think he might not be ANTZ.

Yeah, not so though. Their problem is his connection to BP and nothing to do with ecigs. As someone mentioned - all three are 'in sync' in being against ecigs. But not that much different as his predecessor and their boss.

Thank you, Kent!

Really, ZoiD....

He re-adjusted - got to give him that. But you're welcome

 

[Katya]

Well, maybe Trump will abolish the FDA...

For Us, that would seem like the 64,000 Dollar Question.

I don't really Know?

I just wish that a Candidate could have been chosen that Didn't have so many Ties to Drug Companies.

I wish. Like that is ever going to happen.

Different subject but relevant to the discussion there are a lot of Monsanto ties in the USDA.

How would you rate President Obama's efforts and success with his regulatory reform plans?

Regulation Reform

In January 2011, President Obama outlined his plan to create a 21st-century regulatory system – one that protects public health and welfare while promoting economic growth, innovation, competitiveness, and job creation. Among other things, his Executive Order on Regulation said the following: Always consider costs and reduce burdens for American businesses and consumers when developing rules; expand opportunities for public participation and public comment; simplify rules; promote freedom of choice; and ensure that regulations are driven by real science.

"Califf has gone on record that collaboration between industry and regulators is a good thing. He told NPR, “Many of us consult with the pharmaceutical industry, which I think is a very good thing. They need ideas and then the decision about what they do is really up to the person who is funding the study.”
