Mikkael Sekeres With Gerald Posner: A Conversation

Before the Food and Drug Administration existed, drugmakers could hawk any potion, claim treatment for any ailment, and make any promise on a label with impunity. In Drugs and the FDA: Safety, Efficacy, and the Public’s Trust, Mikkael Sekeres, M.D., a leading oncologist and former chair of the FDA’s cancer drug advisory committee, tells the story of how the FDA became the most trusted regulatory agency in the world and how its system of checks and balances works – or doesn’t. Moderating is Gerald Posner, author of Pharma: Greed, Lies, and the Poisoning of America.
