Bureaucratic Power: How the FDA Controls the Pharmaceutical Industry

Vivek Ramaswamy and Balaji Srinivasan criticize the FDA for prioritizing bureaucracy over patient needs, stifling drug innovation.

“The FDA owns your body and soul… They own the entire industry. When they told me to fire an executive, I fired the executive. They basically are the number one gatekeeper. Once you realize this, and you hear from the executives what it actually is to operate under FDA, then you realize, oh, like, the entire pharmaceutical industry was basically gelded for like, 70 years.”
