analyses by the F.D.A.’s reviewers concluded there was not yet sufficient evidence that the medication could help patients live longer or slow the rate at which they lose functions like muscle control
Besides a vote, what is the FDA's criteria for approval? I'm not seeing any kind of standard being set or met. Without a standard, what does "FDA Approved" mean anymore? If it is approved, will it be stamped with "Experimental" since the clinical trials have not completed? Why can't they not approve it and just have continuous clinical trials similar to how the Census Bureau switched from a decennial survey to the American Community Survey which is continuous sampling. By "Approving" this blurs the line with "Experimental".
We all know that the FDA and Big Pharma have been a revolving door for decades now and is just as corrupt as any other government agency these days. The journal Clinical Evidence, a project of the British Medical Journal, reports that at least 50% of common therapeutic interventions are completely unproven – meaning neither doctors nor researchers have any idea if they work or not. Worse yet, only 35% of treatments are known to be beneficial (11%) or likely beneficial (24%).
i have mixed feelings about this. if they're just approving it because "heck, we gotta throw them a line" (re, Aduhelm: useless, dangerous BUT $$$) then i object. But if i had a serious disease, i would try things whether they had approval or not
Sadly, I have a good friend in hospital right now suffering from ALS. She seems to be declining at a terrific rate - and has been since she got her booster shot in March of this year. Within 5 days of her booster she was unable to move her legs and was hospitalized for 8 weeks. She wound up back in hospital mid August and they are now searching for a palliative bed for her. She is expecting her first grandchild in April - but realizes she will never meet the new baby.
It's not so much "again" anymore. It is now standard operating procedure. Approve the drug no matter how useless or questionable it may be. Get the marketing pitch going on TV (new miracle drug safe and effective for A.L.S.)... ask your doctor. Get the drug in usage and since it is new, it will cost a fortune. Finally after several years and big pharma has made a ton of profit, the FDA decides the drug is no better than the last drug and maybe even worse. This is a common theme, especially for cancer drugs.
It's to the point now, let's cut a fat hog, quick before we're found out. Rubber stamping approval to take in as much cash as possible. Evil deeds shall not go unpunished
Allopathis concensus "medicine" and Pharmakia is fraudulent and harmful. It has introduced for one the germ theory and then extrapolated all its further theories on it. Try going back to how the body really works first and you will find this is a failure and needs to be ignored. This is to start with.
Maybe the Malthusian perspective of the pharma industrial complex is that if someone has a fatal disease, take all their money peddling them a drug before they are gone, cause hey, they can’t take it with them.
It’s all about money for the next medication to make the big Pharma profits fat and happy. Patients’ health has nothing to do with it.
You speak the truth.

I read somewhere that these days as many drugs get pulled from the market for being dangerous or proven to not work as there are new aporovals.

Of course! What do you bet that the price tag is completely outrageous? And paid for by the insurance companies and/or the taxpayers. $$$$$$$$$
