OT: re FDA and dev stage start ups

First, I said OT because I don't want this to be viewed as a slam on RPRX, it isn't.

To some extent, there as been an increase in FDA delayes due to workload (IMHO).

But we also have seen many companies hidng behind the self imposed secrecy to claim foul on the FDA. Any company has the ability to publicly release their communications with the FDA if they so desire. The never do. In the vast majority of the cases it would turn out that the company had some real issues that it needed to address. In the cases that actually go to an AC you can see this.

I am not saying the FDA is perfect, and I am not saying it is unswayed by BP. But they are not the evil monster some proclaim, it's not all one-sided.

I do agree that there are HUGE issues with BP consultants working in the FDA. Many of these get paychecks JUST because they have FDA ties.
