Key Quotes from Isaac Belfer, FDA’s Attorney at the Department of Justice:
- “Making a recommendation of what drugs to take or not to take, that’s the practice of medicine. And FDA can’t practice medicine.”
- “They [FDA] really shouldn’t be saying, ‘Don’t take this drug.’”
- “They’ll [FDA] often use something like tweets as a vehicle to pursue a broader agenda.”
- “So, what the agency has done… [is] unquestionably beyond its authority.”
