Comment on The FDA Is Approving Drugs Without Evidence They Work
ToastedRavioli@midwest.social 3 weeks agoEither way, that is a pretty massive digression from the article, which is about medications. Apparently more people are dying on average from recently approved drugs than are dying from all illegal drug use combined

Fair point, but a lot of the article talks about how many studies aren’t meeting all four pillars of clinical trial design - that’s where my issue comes in, I think reporting that X% of trials do not meet all pillars is a bad metric.
And, not all medications these days are pills or IV infusions - some medications and treatments, which are governed by the FDA, are more invasive and more complicated.
