Yeah, right away.

Yeah, the agency has gone through cycles where it's been captured by the industry it's supposed to regulate. And that was probably the ultimate low point of the FDA. And, you know, we have to... recognize that we can create health crises as a government, as we did with OxyContin. That was an illegal label. That was an approval for chronic pain based on a 14-day study.

And so it was totally inappropriate. Vioxx, we learned years after it was approved that 38,000 Americans may have died from Vioxx. So we're doing something pretty cool, which is to get eyes on a drug the second it's approved in big data. So we're using AI. We're using big data.

We are using computational modeling to predict if a drug is dangerous before it goes through animal testing because mostly animal testing is unnecessary. And so we're reducing animal testing. We've made that announcement. You know, God did not put these animals on earth for us to torture them. And so we are figuring out every place where animal testing is unnecessary.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

i mean just because you can do something in science doesn't mean you should and look at you know messing with a bat coronavirus in wuhan or doing these beagle experiments you know they were trying to show that a fly could spread a certain a certain biting type of fly could spread a certain infection well you don't need to do these mad scientist experiments to yeah to know that and if you know it what are you going to do with that information so

We're reducing unnecessary animal testing. We're doing it with NIH and Jay Bhattacharya. Yes. And so we're doing a lot of cool stuff, and it's an exciting time.

What happened? We're bringing back science to this process. You know, when I got there, the FDA was just rubber-stamping COVID vaccines and was going to do so in perpetuity every year. So if a girl born today lives 80 years, they would get 85. COVID shots in their lifetime with an FDA just rubber stamping with no clinical trial data every year just approving. So we said we're not doing that.
