This is the same FDA head who said that doctors should treat diabetes with cooking classes instead of insulin.

Approval for new drugs have slowed with him as FDA head.

1. Addendum

I was first diagnosed in 1990 with follicular lymphoma.
It returned in 2002 and 2019 and was transformed as diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).
I am on my third remission.

Beginning in 2019, I went through four unsuccessful treatments over 2 years.
All failed to achieve remission as their was still cancerous growth near my spinal column.
Between the 3rd and 4th treatments, my mobility had deteriorated that I needed to use a walker.
If I had not achieved remission, I was at risk for paralysis.
I achieved remission through the use of 2 drugs (Revlimid & Monjuvi).
Monjuvi was approved by the FDA in 2020.
Also, ACA allowed me to pursue multiple treatments with it forbidding lifetime limits.

Trump's second term FDA is much worse than his first term FDA.
The effect it will have on cancer treatment concerns me.
The current head of the FDA is fully on board with the MAHA agenda.

His first term FDA commissioner, Scott Gottlieb, is on record that RFK Jr will cost lives.
