FDA Commissioner Is Lying Again

 The FDA Commissioner Dr. Robert Califf has apparently been traveling the country making a rather amazing claim: that misinformation is the leading cause of death in America.

Now an FDA Commissioner and doctor going out and repeatedly making an absurd and unprovable claim seems, on its face, to be politically motivated misinformation.

In a series of public appearances, Califf has claimed that "Misinformation is now our leading cause of death."

Jessica Adams, an expert in drug regulatory affairs said, "It's ironic. Califf is spreading misinformation about the leading cause of premature death in the US, while promoting the need to counter misinformation."

As Jessica Adams rightly points out, the remit of the FDA Commissioner has everything to do with drug and medical device approval and nothing whatsoever about what people say on the internet, unless it is drug or medical device companies.

The FDA communications team is dancing around like whirling dervishes to come up with some scientific justification for Dr. Califf's claims to no success, which begs the question: in what possible universe is this sort of BS remotely appropriate? What Dr. Califf said is simply made up.

In a just world, the FDA Commissioner would be fired for spreading these lies, but we live in a world where Fauci gets a Presidential Medal of Freedom from the former president, so expect no justice until the final judgment.
