The Totally Unhinged - part the second

Anyone with a functioning brain knew that The United States of Alabama had entered a New Dark Ages with Ayatollah 49% Don^©'s ascension to the Throne of Washington. The crowning of Prince Bobby at FDA was among the Unhinged appointments which led the way.

Now, the wonderful Adam Feuerstein posts a perfect example of Acts of The Totally Unhinged

The Duchenne muscular dystrophy [DMD] patient & advocacy community keeps a gene therapy and multiple drugs on the US market, stopping the FDA from taking action, despite failed confirmatory clinical trials showing no efficacy and questionable safety.

The Huntington's disease patient and advocacy community can't even persuade the FDA to allow a filing of a gene therapy, despite a positive clinical trial.

A bit of background. Under pressure from many patient/advocate communities to loosen up the approval process for rare and/or unmet needs, FDA did adopt some 'looser' regulations. DMD was among the recent cases where highly questionable drugs gained approval.

What Feuerstein is referring to is FDA's two-faced behavior: really stupid DMD drugs get approved on lousy data, but Huntington's developers get cut no slack even with actionable data. For myself, I smell the rancid odor of Baksheesh.

Thank you Ayatollah 49% Don^© for your attention to this matter.
