The FDA is tasked with protecting public health through the regulation of drugs, food, and other health-related products. However, concerns have emerged regarding the agency's alignment with industry interests, leading to the neglect of its ethical obligation to prioritize public safety. The secrecy surrounding FDA operations and its apparent tolerance for research misconduct undermine public trust. Revenue-driven influences could exacerbate these dilemmas under current leadership, complicating the agency's aim of ensuring the safety and efficacy of medical products amidst recurring recalls and cautionary warnings.
The FDA's primary mission is to protect public health, yet there are systemic issues due to industry capture and a lack of transparency.
Ethically, the FDA must prioritize public health over pharmaceutical profits, but current practices show a willingness to overlook research misconduct.
