I attended undergrad school with the current FDA commissioner, Dr. Califf. We were friends & classmates, and I will say straight up I have been deeply disappointed to conclude how willing he had to be to take on the dishonorable assignment when he did, not to mention go along with the innumerable crimes against humanity that have been committed under his dubious "watch". Am vastly understating my visceral disgust here...
. . . and, Alan, all of us here are hoping you will communicate the paragraph above to him directly with support from all of us here on Substack and in the world, for that matter.
I admit to have been holding off on doing that but I totally hear you and yes, absolutely must do so. We were honest to goodness friends back then, though our lives went in different directions and as so often happens we lost touch over the course of the last 50 yrs ( :o ) since graduation in '73. I appreciate your encouraging me to reach out, I cannot begin to imagine what it must feel like to know one has been complicit in the abject abandonment of all we, perhaps naively, believed were the tenets of both the FDA's primary responsibility and the Hippocratic oath itself.
Thank you Alan R for mentioning the Hippocratic Oath ... as an Ob/Gyn , why in God’s name would you give an untested “vaccine” to pregnant women and the ACOG backs it .
Giving untested vaccine to ANYONE is terrible. For pregnant women it’s doubly horrible. Everything from beginning to end of covid hype to vaccine has been a terrible crime. Why is the big question? I think I know why and all this involved should
I wouldn't say it like that, Alan, since you haven't been in contact with him in years, and it would also miss an opportunity to find out what was going on in his mind/thought process to have done such a thing, perhaps to give us more clues as to what happened behind the scenes...? I see it as an opportunity to possibly change his mind and have him make better decisions from now on, perhaps he doesn't even know how many people would support him if he did?
. . . AND, coming from someone of such vintage in his life, words from Alan could be a good form of "shake-up". Perhaps enough to move the boulder over the apex of the hill.
Yes, understood, Mo! I used to think the same way about people like this, and then I got more and more responsibility, managing bigger and bigger projects and teams, and having to corral the outliers, instigators, agitators, and real players, to get the goal met, regardless, I found that you have to even pretend to assume their good intentions, until they prove otherwise, which is much easier than stifling a coup when they panic/get mad during a reveal, especially since they can claim a victim card, and cause even more issues with leadership and getting the project done/goals met! We want to live before we want them to face justice, just a priority!
It seems that Califf is deeply connected to Big Pharma. He also served a tenure employed by Alphabet (Google). Joe Biden nominated him and then renominated him. I am not sure there is hope there.
Unfortunately, the way those type of nominations seem to be handled implies preselection of yes-men that will do as told (by big business, political interest etc ..).
Anyone willing to hold their ground in defense of public health above private interests will be past over for promotion or won't last in the position.
Whatever you think of Califf, to call him "shady" or having a "shady history" is a real stretch. Plus, citing POGO as a source really discredits you. That is a truly leftist group of DC actors. They oppose protecting America's boarders among other stupidities.

I am very disappointed in him also.

He NEEDS to know.

I agree, about giving an untested vaccine to pregnant women. It’s like they’ve taken everything we’ve ever learned and turned it on its head.
Exactly E K!

Be prosecuted.

the first word that comes to mind after reading your post is naive.

I honestly completely understand. That is a very hard and painful thing to ask of you.
Forever and Ever Amen!

yeah, I know...
