"I am in a quandary as to where big medicine draws the line between established norms for clinical trials, EUA, etc and where they feel they can shave off some time (come on, we know there is a load of pure BS put into these encyclopedic requirements such as 100K-200K for an EUA pathway?,"
I believe the FDA/CDC/NIH establish the protocols to be followed for clinical trials. I don't think big pharma draws, or establishes, or is allowed to draw establish lines(specs) set by the above gov't entities, outside the specified lines.
I suspect it's a combination of things that seem to appear the US has been tipping the bow toward the water for years. Gov't greed, and private greed.When they combine, society suffers. That happens, and hurts MOST, not all.
Requests can be made by pharma companies, and I'm sure reasonable requests are considered. I believe BP is beyond greedy, and over rated. The days of Banting and Best, and their ilk, are long gone, and the managers of BP are the primary reason the atrocious health care costs and availability of it to many are limited.
It's easy not to care- I guess.
"73 days to check data, who is running these trial sites, a group of monkeys that don't have a clue as to what they are doing?)to move the process along during a pandemic that has basically shut down a lot of the world's commerce and freedom and killed many and greatly injured major organs for many, many more that did not die from Covid. In business, medicine was the only sector that didn't give a damn about either cost or time. They thought both were infinite as since their work was so blessed. Time to get this sector into the real world IMO."
Does the 73 days have anything to do with ipix's 60 call back?
It's obiovesley a dynamic (moving/shifting) situation. Certain areas think government reccommendationts are an infridgement, other areas don't believe so.
Currently, the proof is in the pudding.
No Whining tolerated in this , still, quite dynamic pandemic.
Love and prayers to you, and all.
