2:15Now PlayingPresident Obama’s pick to be the new commissioner of the FDA quite possibly the worst selection imaginable.
His pick, Dr. Robert Califf, is the former professor of cardiology at Duke University, where he led a research department that was funded by Big Pharma. On top of conducting medical research on Big Pharma’s dime, Dr. Califf was also a paid consultant for drug companies including Eli Lily, Merck, and Novartis. Reports indicate that he donated that money to non-profit organizations since the mid-2000’s, but that’s still a very cozy relationship with pharmaceutical industry considering that they’ve funded the man’s entire career.
Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this.
