Fitness Expert Claims FDA Drug Approval Process Is Murdering People by Delaying Access
The Checkup with Doctor Mike
He Takes Steroids, Got Plastic Surgery & Says Vanity Can Make You Healthier
What was said
"When you have a drug that's already ready to save lives and you wait 10 years to give it to any real humans outside of 300 people in a clinical trial, you're murdering people."
Dr. Mike Israetel argues that the FDA's lengthy approval process causes preventable deaths by delaying drugs that could save lives. He contends that the visible costs of regulatory caution are prioritized over the hidden cost of lives lost waiting for treatment. He advocates for a more libertarian system where consenting adults can access experimental drugs with appropriate disclosure.
