The FDA's top regulator just took a senior job at Pfizer

No wonder no one trusts drug companies - or their regulators.

On Monday, Pfizer named Dr. Patrizia Cavazzoni as its executive vice president and chief medical officer, overseeing the company’s safety and regulatory teams globally.

Until Jan. 18, Cavazzoni had a different job - director of the Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research. Effectively, she was the FDA’s top regulator.

I know what you’re thinking. Not the same Pfizer that made $100 billion selling mRNA Covid “vaccines” that failed in months and caused heart and autoimmune problems the FDA has ignored. Can’t be.

Why, yes, it can! Yep, for Pfizer, hiring Cavazzoni is money well spent. And it waited a whole month until after she quit her FDA job! Nothing to see here, folks.

Amazingly, this is not Cavazzoni’s first turn through the Pfizer/FDA revolving door. Before joining the FDA in 2018, she worked at Pfizer for eight years, overseeing clinical trials globally and holding other high-level posts.

At the time, lawsuits against Pfizer claimed Cavazzoni, who was trained as a psychiatrist, knew and hid the risks of Pfizer’s best-selling antidepressant Zoloft.

A decade earlier, when she worked at the Indiana-based drug maker Eli Lilly, Cavazzoni faced similar allegations. Lilly is now best-known for the diabetes and weight-loss drugs Mounjaro and Zepbound.

the FDA used to require testing of pharmaceuticals.
if there deaths, the therapy would be REMOVED.

now, the FDA allows fake-”vaccines” to be put in
infants, even though they have NEVER BEEN TESTED,
and the monkey pox only happens in raped children.

But the FDA allowed it, and now those that did
are given billions of dollars for the millions
they murder. They belong on Trial and then GITMO.

This is the classic revolving door.

Congress should pass a lifetime ban on it for every federal employee.

This is exactly what RFK, Jr. means when he talks about regulatory capture.

I presume that with this job change there is no change as to who signs her paycheck.

Therein is the problem.

They should be forbidden to get a job in the private sector that has anything to do with what you did when at the FDA.

That is the price you should pay as a federal employee so that you can get that nice retirement.

AKA being parked until the next dem administration when they’ll come back to their old job while being trumpeted as “having many years experience in both the industry and government!”.

From her Wiki page:

She also noted that she would hand Donald Trump a blank sheet of paper if asked to submit a list of workers who should not receive due process protections.

This is why I didn’t take their “vaccine”. I refused to make my body a beta tester for a “cure” for something I was not even worried about getting.

And NOT comically, a friend that felt the same way did get vaxxed so she could see her dying father in the hospital (not covid related). She had just passed a mamogram with flying colors. Three years later she was dead of breast cancer.

Make of it what you will.

Congress either needs to codify a ban on the practice or a 2 decade delay from being compensated in any way, shape or form related to their government work for anything exceeding 80% (or whatever settled amount) of their former government compensation.

Does this look dirty?

How about a nice investigation of Pfizer? Top to bottom? Inside and out? Inviting any potential testimony from smaller, startup drug firms that mysteriously get squashed?
