FDA et COVID-19

[Cthulhu]

J'écris un article sur la foirage de la FDA en février et je lis ça dans la foulée: https://www.politico.com/news/2020/03/29/ohio-dewine-trump-administration-mask-ruling-154378

At issue is the FDA’s decision to allow emergency use of a Battelle system that decontaminates specialized N95 face masks, allowing doctors and nurses to safely reuse them. The FDA approved Battelle’s Columbus headquarters to sterilize 10,000 masks per day, even though the company says its machines have the capacity to decontaminate 80,000.

 

Si cette pandémie pouvait contribuer à faire tomber des têtes à la FDA, ce serait au moins quelque chose de positif.

By issuing the EUA allowing physicians to use convalescent plasma, the FDA didn’t make a final determination as to the treatment’s efficacy. The agency stated it “may be effective.” Importantly, it concluded that the treatment is safe. The FDA press release stated, “the known and potential benefits of the product outweigh the known and potential risks of the product.” (emphasis added)
