Former FDA Officials Amicus Brief in Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine v. FDA

Filed on behalf of over a dozen former FDA officials, this brief emphasizes that Congress gave the FDA broad authority over drug approvals to safeguard public health and that FDA exercises its congressionally granted authority to safeguard public health and facilitate safe access to effective drugs through expert scientific judgement. It affirms that courts should not second-guess FDA’s determinations of drug safety and efficacy that are supported by scientific evidence.
