Doctors are hungry for data on Covid-19 boosters. If a 52-year-old, perfectly healthy patient came to me asking if they should get their fifth or sixth Covid booster, I wouldn’t have any evidence to inform a strong, educated recommendation. It’s been a guessing game.

TWO DAYS after receiving the application, FDA greenlit the new pancreatic cancer drug daraxonrasib for expanded access. This drug has also been granted a national priority voucher, which means a full application could be reviewed in a matter of weeks instead of 10-12 months.

FDA is moving with unprecedented agility. Today we approved a multiple myeloma drug just 55 days after the application was filed. And last week’s approval (a major leap forward) was approved in 44 days. If a trial result shows immediate promise for many Americans, why wait?

The potential benefits of hormone replacement therapy for women have been in the bucket of things that modern medicine has underappreciated, underrecognized, and underfunded. Women need to know the real data on this topic – not dogma.

When I got to the FDA, I was shocked to learn that we had been allowing Americans’ living cells to be shipped to labs in China for gene editing before being shipped back and infused into Americans – sometimes without the patients even knowing.

In France, the Covid shot is only recommended for people over age 80 and high-risk. In the UK, it's age 75 and high-risk. Beware of medical elites claiming absolute consensus when in fact the U.S. has been an international outlier.

FDA is setting new records in how rapid we are approving cancer drugs—some are so powerful, they have the potential to bring patients out of hospice.

Today we’re taking long-overdue action to rein in pharmaceutical ads. For too long, misleading ads have distorted the doctor-patient relationship and driven costly, inappropriate care. Our actions will encompass online pharmacies promoting drugs with no mention of side effects, and paid social media influencers advertising drugs.
