Here we go again ...
Yesterday, I emailed you about a Big Pharma lobbyist President Biden was considering to be the next head of the Food and Drug Administration.
Today, the media is reporting that the president is now leaning toward another possible FDA leader — Robert Califf — with a long history of extensive financial ties to the pharmaceutical industry.
The FDA, of course, is the federal agency that is supposed to make sure the food we eat is safe and the medicines we take are safe and effective.
But the FDA is already far too cozy with the pharmaceutical and medical device industries.
So we need to take action AGAIN today to tell President Biden:
The American people deserve an FDA Commissioner who will reverse a decades-long trend that has seen the agency get cozier and cozier with the pharmaceutical and medical-device industries. Robert Califf is not the right person for the job.
Add your name now.
Thanks for taking action.
For progress,
- Robert Weissman, President of Public Citizen
