Trump admin deregulation frenzy has changed govt regulations to permit companies to self validate, including drugs & the COVID19tests. Hahn just stated that. They give @US_FDA an "affidavit" that the drug/test meets approval standards. @drsanjaygupta @AC360 1/
2/ Neurimmune had Phase 3 clinical trials ongoing in September 2016,but canceled in March 2019 after "an independent group's analysis showed that the trials were unlikely to 'meet their primary endpoint.'" but Trump admin let them "self approve" &it's in use. @drsanjaygupta
3/ Self approval of the 737Max by Boeing led to the two crashes that killed hundreds. After that debacle, airline safety will be done by FAA engineers & professionals. In drugs, we aren't protected from another thalidomide catastrophe, from which we were saved by JFK's @US_FDA
