I think it
started getting really bad with social media magnified during the politicalization of science during COVID.
In the COVID era, we saw the Biden administration declare that the Democratic Party was the party of science.
And therefore, those of us who are not part of the Democratic Party were heretics and should be censored and canceled and sidelined and dismissed.
And so you do have this view that is prevalent in academic medicine that we should have scientific apartheid in medicine.
If you don't agree...
with the Democrat Party view that you should not have a voice.
What I would ask people to do is to remain scientifically objective and recognize we all want the same thing.
We saw during COVID people, regardless of their political background, say, hey, wait a minute.
closing schools for nearly two years, that's bad for kids.
It didn't matter what political party they came from.
They could just speak objectively and scientifically.
Hey, ignoring natural immunity is scientifically illogical.
Hey, putting a cloth mask on a toddler for three years is going to affect their development and provide no added level of protection.
And so you saw a
during COVID, during the politicalization of science itself, this rise of people from no political background say, hey, wait a minute, let's talk only about the clinical data and let's get back on track.
The great part about this job is twofold.
One, getting to know the amazing scientists at the FDA who have dedicated their careers to doing the right thing.
And number two, it's the ability to look into the pipeline of what amazing cures are possible where there's early research and say, let's, from an operational standpoint, see if we can move their application to the front of the line.
Let's be an advocate for the American people.
