The last month has seen an interesting amount of negative publicity regarding the FDA.
First was Vioxx, which Merck voluntarily pulled from the parket.
Second was Phizer's Celebrex. This drug is in the same class as Vioxx and caused the same problems of possible heart attack.
Today, the FDA announced another drug has problems -- Naproxen. There may be problems with Alzheimers patients.
Are drug companies and the FDA too cozy? Is the FDA doing its job?
How does this play into Bush's tort reform? If companies do not think they will be sued in a meaningful way, will they continue to suppress key information about a drug?
