Ex-FDA Chief Crawford Meant to OK Plan B
Boy does the plan B fiasco keep getting stranger and stranger. I’ve posed on it several times as has Mark Sedak over at Eye on FDA. Here is the latest from the New York Times.
Ex - FDA Chief: Agency Meant to OK Plan B - New York Times:
Mark has a post specifically dealing with this latest news and has some very good questions that need to be answered. The question I have is how can Dr. Crawford say with a straight face that he couldn’t figure out how to enforce an age limit for the OTC version of plan B?! Maybe he should talk to the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms for advice on how they deal with sales of cigarettes or alcohol and see how they deal with it. That excuse is just ridiculous.
Here’s link to Dr. Crawford’s testimony (pdf).
Here’s links to a page on the Center for Reproductive Rights containing other pdf’s of other people testimony who were involved in the plan B discussions.
Testimony of Dr. Janet Woodcock (Part 1)
Testimony of Dr. Janet Woodcock (Part 2)
Testimony of Dr. Steven Galson (Part 1)
Testimony of Dr. Steven Galson (Part 2)
Also, former commissioner Mark McClellan was deposed on June 13th (2 days ago) but those transcripts are not yet available. I haven’t had time to read through them all, but since they are in pdf format, you can easily search them electronically. If I find anything interesting, I’ll be sure and post.
