Hi
John,
Â
We’re excited to bring you a new episode of the Breast Cancer Action podcast.
Â
In this episode, The Medical Industrial Complex Meets the FDA, Karuna talks to Jeanne Lenzer, an award winning investigative reporter and associate editor at the British Medical Journal, about how corporate influence on the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) affects the quality and safety of drugs and medical devices upon which many of us depend. Â |
|
The healthcare industry has tremendous influence on FDA oversight and regulation — influence that too often favors corporate profits over public health. Jeannie Lenzer talks with Karuna about that influence, and about the research and regulatory failures that too often put patients at risk — from medicines with hideous side effects to medical devices that trigger long-term health complications.
Â
In The Medical Industrial Complex Meets the FDA, you’ll hear the story behind the promotion of the drug, hydroxychloroquine, to treat COVID-19, and what the rush to use untested, experimental drugs means for all of us, including breast cancer patients.
Â
Tune in to the latest episode of our podcast to learn about the impact of the multibillion dollar medical industrial complex on our healthcare, and what it means for you and for everyone living with and at risk of breast cancer. And join the conversation about where we’re going after the COVID-19 crisis, and what we can do to transform our healthcare system.
Thanks for listening in. Be sure to share your thoughts on Twitter and Facebook, and let us know what you think. Â
Connie Matthiessen, Communications ManagerÂ
