YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Atlantic criticized the US Food and Drug Administration for moving too slowly to approve vaccines with the provocative headline “The Death Toll of Delay.” Not long before, National Public Radio ran a piece titled “One-Third of New Drugs Had Safety Problems After FDA Approval.” As the agency tries to move safe and effective drugs as quickly as possible to patients who need them, it also needs to maintain the diligence and rigor necessary to prevent harm. Two experts look at the pace of FDA approvals and argue about whether the agency is getting it right.

Arguing "YES" is Colin Hill, CEO & Co-Founder of Aitia

Arguing "NO" is Peter Lurie, physician, President of the Center for Science in the Public Interest, and former Associate Commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration

Emmy Award-winning journalist John Donvan moderates.

This debate took place live at the Aspen Institute in partnership with the Aspen Ideas Festival. @aspenideas @aspeninstitute @CDC @US_FDA
