“The House Committee on Oversight and Accountability recently hosted Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Robert Califf in a hearing to discuss the agency’s recent blemishes. The Committee’s website stated that ‘under the Biden Administration, the FDA has stumbled from crisis to crisis.’ The amount of ‘stumbling’ — even for a government agency — has been dumbfounding. … Despite these alarming failures, the FDA asked Congress for ‘more authority’ to address continuing prescription drug shortages and other pressing healthcare issues. It’s an audacious request. They’ll probably get it. They certainly have in the past.” (04/24/24)
