Board-Certified Physician Declares FDA Is Rottweiler for Big Pharma, Not Public Protector

What was said

"Screw the FDA. Yeah, the FDA is a joke. They're not here to protect us. I think the FDA is the Rottweiler for Big Pharma. In other words, that's the legal arm where if you piss off Big Pharma, the FDA is sent to intervene."

Dr. Sanders made an inflammatory statement accusing the FDA of functioning as the enforcement arm for pharmaceutical companies rather than protecting public health. He argued that the U.S. is the only developed nation still allowing direct-to-consumer prescription drug advertising, and that FDA approval processes serve corporate interests while suppressing alternative treatments that don't generate recurring revenue.
