An effective and more affordable treatment for lung cancer may not gain approval after the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) complained about the lack of black people in its clinical trial, with a top FDA cancer official repeatedly noting in a meeting that it is Black History Month.
Eli Lilly and a Chinese partner called Innovent believe the drug, known as Tyvyt or sintilimab, could extend the lives of those suffering with late-stage non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and be more affordable than other treatments. The clinical trial patients were Asian because the trial was conducted in China.

We need to start defunding any group whose initials starts with "F."

Well, if the study was done in China then it is also racist against white people. Besides, with current history in mind, who would want to take any drug developed in China?

Low-cost drugs are downright American. We enjoy the freedom to choose to die, or to be stripped clean of our life's savings because that's good for business. Quaint notion FTA; since when do we care about white people? "If there is harm from a trial being done with people of a different race, though, by far the biggest group affected would seem to be whites, not blacks who are 'traditionally underrepresented.' In the U.S., 79% of patients with non-squamous NSCLC are white." FDA's diversity push also includes enrolling transgender people in clinical trials, because study results are far more accurate when results are tainted by men loaded with estrogen and women loaded with testosterone are tallied as the opposite sex. That's Science.

People must die of cancer because the drug that might have saved them came up for FDA approval during Black History Month. Got it.

So, the clinical trials the United States which lead to approved drugsp over the years should not be sold to other countries because they don't have the same racial makeup that we do??????? Just asking for a friend from China. (Tongue in cheek)

So if I am black and have lung cancer, you just told me that I have to die to support racial equality?

It is all about DIE. DIE means Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity. Look at The Afghanistan defeat and the whoopass coming from Russian armies shorty. Equity über alles. It started as liberté, egalité, and fraternité and then Communism and the Rostschilds happened. Russian armies are more Christian and manly than our American triple vaccinated warriors under Traitor Medals Milley and Idi Amin Austin.

This just goes to prove that the FDA is in league with the pharmacutical industry. I wonder how much kickbacks they're getting.

#13 - According to RFK, Jr.'s book, "The Real Anthony Fauci",
"The FDA receives 45 percent of its budget from the pharmaceutical industry, through what are euphemistically called "user fees".

Look at who is heading each of the federal agencies in the U.S. and you will understand why everything is an absolute disaster. Biden appointed leftest hacks to every position of power to pus a racist woke agenda and it is working.
The only federal agency I trust is the NTSB.

Pazdur has been around for a very long time at the FDA. He is what we called a “drone”. Unfortunately, the rest of the review panel went along with him. Pazdur should be fired, and if Trump were president, he would be. This is carrying wokeness to the extreme. This guy has blood on his hands!

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) complained about the lack of black people in its clinical trial of this drug, with a top FDA cancer official repeatedly noting in a meeting that it is Black History Month ignored the fact that clinical trial patients were Asian because the trial was conducted in China. I suppose this top FDA cancer official was so busy "virtual signalling" that he didn't notice this fact.
It should be noted that since the Tuskegee Syphilis Study Blacks have been reluctant to participate in clinical trials. That study was conducted, between 1932 and 1972 by the United States Public Health Service (PHS) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), on a group of nearly 400 African Americans with syphilis. The purpose of the study was to observe the effects of the disease when untreated. The men were not informed of the true nature of the experiment, and more than 100 died as a result. Though, by 1974, it was known that Syphilis was treatable with penicillin, none of the men were given treatment.

Correction: The last sentence should read
Though, by 1947, it was known that Syphilis was treatable with penicillin, none of the men were given treatment.
