ScienceBoarding the FDA
by Peter Pitts
Terrific editorial in the edition Wall Street Journal. And the title says it all, "The Real FDA Scandal."
It puts the FDA Science Board report into the appropriate context -- that despite all of the Congressional bloviating about the FDA "not doing its job," there's plenty of blame to go around -- much of it belonging to those same elected representatives who are the first to throw stones. And you know the proverb.
"Scienceboarding" shouldn't be used to torture the FDA and score political points, rather the Science Board report should be recognized and utilized for what it really is -- a clarion call for appropriate budgeting, smart reform, and strong support for the Critical Path program and the Reagan/Udall Foundation.
