Scott Gottlieb, possibly Trump's only effective regulator, announces his departure from the FDA — but what will come of his initiatives? hiltzikm weighs in:
As recently as Tuesday morning, Gottlieb appeared on CNBC to announce a crackdown on 15 national retailers for selling tobacco and e-cigarettes to minors, giving no clue about the announcement he was to make a few hours later. There were no indications that he was pressured to resign; in fact, his image as an effective regulator was one of the few examples of functioning government that Trump could point to.
“He was entangled in an unprecedented web of ties to Big Pharma,” says Michael Carome, director of the Health Research Group at Public Citizen, which opposed his confirmation. He was labeledwhose appointment was greeted with unalloyed joy by the drug industry. But even some healthcare advocates were relieved that Gottlieb got the job over such candidates as Peter Thiel, a Silicon Valley billionaire with an extreme anti-regulatory bent.
In office, Gottlieb won positive reviews for some of his regulatory initiatives on public health issues such as opioid abuse, the rise of vaping among underage users, and clinics hawking bogus stem cell “cures” for incurable diseases. He had pledged to streamline the FDA process for approving drugs, which brought him praise from some patient advocates.
