Dr. Patrizia Cavazzoni originally left Pfizer to join the FDA in 2018. Her return to the drug and vaccine maker highlights the continued existence of the so-called ‘revolving door’ between the federal agency and the companies it is supposed to be regulating.

It is long since time that blatant conflicts of interest of this type should have been outlawed. Officials working for the FDA ought to be completely free from connections to industry and should not be allowed to take up jobs in drug and vaccine makers after leaving the regulator.

To read how, as reported in the British Medical Journal (BMJ), a whistleblower has revealed the use of falsified data in Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine trial, see this article on our website.
