Supercharging a New FDA: Marty Makary on Science, Power & Patients

All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg

Key Takeaways 

Safety remains the FDA’s number one priority, but stifling innovation for “absolute safety” (which can never be achieved) also costs lives The American health establishment must respond with humility when presented with a question it doesn’t know; absolutism is the wrong response The objective of the FDA should not be to fight misinformation –  it should be to deliver cures and meaningful treatments faster to the American public and healthier food for children It’s time to stop drugging our nation’s kids at scale because they are antsy from us locking them in LED light boxes all day and shoving processed food in their faces The first step in fixing the health of America’s youth is flipping the food pyramid upside down and focusing on proteinDecades of medical dogma and corruption have put together food pyramids that make no sense; the food industry’s influence on academia caused the inaccurate food pyramids A top goal of the FDA is to reduce drug prices and provide better access to drugs; this will be done by encouraging competition in the marketplace and making more drugs non-prescription
