FDA has had a number of advisory committees meeting, and I think they are extremely valuable from everything that I know about the FDA, if I'm confirmed as commissioner, they are a critical part of of the role of the FDA. I get it, but you've done a pretty good job of avoiding answering questions so far. So will you commit? Yes or no? Will you commit to restarting the committees that have been disbanded? An $8 million nation. Two days later, a meeting of those donors with the president and immediate phone call to the FDA to change the rules. Four days later, the rules are changed. And four days after that, the FDA commissioner resigns. Do you have any opinion as to whether that's the way that you want the FDA to work? #FDA, #FDACommissioner, #AdvisoryCommittees, #FDACommittees, #FoodAndDrugAdministration, #SenateHearing, #ConfirmationHearing, #DonorInfluence, #PoliticalPressure, #FDAReform, #PublicHealth, #RegulatoryOversight, #GovernmentAccountability, #CommitteeRestart, #USPolitics
