they to criticize fda -- they criticized fda for using a check the box format. bo a, do you have? randomized controlled trial? box b, and longitudinal cohort study? no. there was also boc -- box c, other evidence. >> concretely, what would fall into box c? what would be an adequate substitute for either a randomized controlled trial or under general -- or longitudinal cohort study? >> they were not saying there's any particular thing you need. you need sufficient scientific evidence to peuade us this is true. what they ended providing was a review of the scientific literatu that set, there are no sufciently reliable trials that establish a connection between flavors and adult cessation with respects to cigarette smoking. it would not have to be those particular trials. there could have been other surveys. had there been her studies in the literature that establish this, there was this type of evidence about unflavored cigarettes out there but in this instance there was no evidence needed to show that in their case flavors are crucial to getting adults a switch. >> is this an accur

and that's basically what fda you tried to convince fda of, and then at the end fda said you haven't convinced us. we think flavors are really bad in terms of youth smoking and we don't think that you have us that they provide any special benefits in tes of smoking cessation. so i guess i just don't see where the gaffe is h mr. heyer: your honor, it wasn't called out at all and with a level of specificity, and i would respectfully dispute the fact that everybody knows this -- justice kagan: well, you know that fda things thflavors -- fda has been completely upfront abou tnd i think that the point, you know, that flavors, ve people blueberry vapes, the ulty with that, and fda i think ied to document this, that blueberry vapes are very appealing to 16-yr-ds, not to 40-year-olds. mr. : respectfully disagree. the literature provided is that the cessation er combustible -- justice kagan: i'm not saying you don't have a point of view on the questut you knew what fda's po view on that question was, that blueberry vapes are really problematicn terms of youth smoking. you know that fda was ba

fda acted arbitrand capriciously. but either way it can be that they reapply and hope to succee >> yes, they would be able to y. to the extent that they, oh,e hano idea this is what supsed to be pving -- they had for years to try to assemble that evidnd persuade fda. they could have reapplied in the meantime. they can reapply now. i expect they will say that right now they havey fr the fifth circuit of emen of this denial order and therefore they have some protection with respects to enforcementctions with respect to this. >> that'shy fr notice is a bit of an odd fit with this kind of scheme. because even if you t ge fair notice, as justice jackson was saying, you don't get a court order that you are approved to now sell the product. mr. : th is correct. to the extent that the fifth circuit remanded t-- >> would like a fair notice -- was lack a fair notice, >> that's right.again. twithstanding that, our point with respect to t one aspect of the casere we arerguing are most error is where the do t need to send this bac

how doe the fda enforce its orders? suppose, as i understan i they can get an injunction against the business. hythetical.restaurant in this enforcement action, is the respondent able to contest the fda deniers? >> i don't think they are. if they don't have a license, ose. that's the only question at that hearing. tharight? >> at that point for enforcement, with the lack of authorization, that would be true. with respect to these applicatiot prxisted the 2020 deadline, there were -- they were sort of grandfathered in. wh it announced the deeming rule in016, some of these products were already in t market. >> i understand that. when it comes to the enforcement action, they would not be able to collaterally attack the derder >> that is correct they can in the judicial review as they are doing in this particular proceeding. >> thank you. stice jackson, i'm sorry. >> i apologize for jumping in. i just wanted to ask about your hypothetical,ce gorsuch. which i understood, m gannon, is the dtion the fact that in the hypothetic

as you know believing fda the change of administration but i can assure you our people fda want to do more. we need your partnership. as a cardiologist i spent most of my career dealing with the tragedy of premature death and disability. my time in washington is may be aware of how hard it is to address these policy issues. our nations complex financial and industrial interests can both eat and sing to favor individual freedom to choose, even if the choice make it difficult to take actions have been successfully deployed by many other countries. i believe the differences directly lead to better health and longer life and every other large high income country compared with ours. in my opinion fighting a better consensus on this issues in america is not just an opportunity but a necessity for the future of our country. thanks for the opportunity to testify today we will be happy to answer your questions. >> thank you very much mr. jones to join to add anything to that? oxo thank you. >> thank you again. i agree with much of voice that are in your testimony i agree with much of what sena

commissioner who's been fda commissioner under biden, but he was also fda commissioner under obama.edged he's going out the door and therefore he can be a lot more honest and more upfront about a lot of the problems happening in fda and he pointed out that, yes they want to look at these dyes, and they are looking at these dyes, but there's so much pushback from the industry if they come out and just say, okay, we're going to take this out and they don't have rock solid evidence through scientific studies to then go into court against the interests that are going to push back on them. they probably aren't going to succeed in actually being able to take any regulatory action there. so he was trying to lay out the limitations to the fda not just the pushback from the industry, but also a lack of resources and funding. he kept imploring congress to basically give them better funding and improve the legislation if they want fda to do these kinds of things. but rfk jr. has talked about a lot of these things food additives, chemicals pesticides, getting government interests and conflicts

but, yes, the fda should be an independent agency.s a shot or a chance that the administration and the folks in it will decide to let 20 plus years of authorization of fda approved medication abortion stand. i am skeptical about the court. that being said, we absolutely have to continue to build public awareness of the popularity of this medication. you know, last year when this case went to the court from the kazmierczak court in texas all the way to the supreme court, we ran a multi-platform campaign educating american voters about the importance of medication abortion. and that's exactly what we're poised to do again. it does matter when the public is raised in awaterness and actativeness on these issues. overturning roe was a terrible, terrible precedent to set for so many issues trump and the gop are trying to avoid being tagged with. >> you know, i wonder independent of this particular effort to ban medication abortion, there's also state level efforts like the one undertaken by texas attorney general ken paxton who is suing a n

i've been encouraging this and fda will look at data that shows how beneficial it is.e also talking about saturated fats that you find in your animal products, meat, dairy, and they're separating those from your tr trans fats and thas in your processed foods and those are bad for you: no way shape or form and that's that's healthy for you and griff, i have to criticize the fda and they started them almost a decade ago and came out showing the fats in early 2000s and 1999 and emerging data showed the benefits of some of the fats and it's taken them almost a year and making the recommendations and one of the other goals they have is they want to have a little symbol to put on packages and it's easy to see it's not healthy and they started that in 2021 and still don't have that symbol and there's 2340 date to when they'll have that schismable and lack of efficiency and delay by the fda caused a massive trail of preventableness in the wake. >> teens use nicotine pouches like zyn are gaining ground and it's like 6% of twelfth graders up 3%, 3% of tenth graders using the pou

that doesn't stop them from petitioning the fda. it doesn't stop the lawyer from questioning the validity of the other vaccines. for more on this, let's bring in dr. peter hotez. great to have you with us. >> thank you for having me. >> you have actually spoken to rfk junior yourself about vaccines and the potential link to autism. you speak not only as a vaccine expert but also as a father of a daughter who has autism. i'm wondering, what was his reception when you told him you didn't think vaccines caused autism? >> i had written a book with the title, "vaccines did not cause rachel's autism," about my daughter. it's based on scientific evidence. let's go through it a little bit. i don't know how much time we have. what rfk and other anti-vaccine activists do is they switch the goalposts on what their beef is about vaccines. the original assertion was in 1998 with false claims that it was measles, mumps, that was causing autism. the paper was retracted. they were expensive studies and long-term. there were thousands of children in

before he can take over the fda and cdc must get confirmed. it's not just democrats who are concerned about his position on vaccines. republicans too still by and large in the united states, people trust vaccines and in order to get confirmed, he needs the support of u.s. senators. at the same time, what i think is so interesting about robert f. kennedy jr. as a political figure and a soon to be government official, it contrasts to other nominees of donald trump is that he is somebody who is not ship shaped and molded himself over the years. he for decades has been fighting vaccines and been openly discussing writing books questioning the science that has been peer reviewed consistently time and again that has said vaccines on the market today are safe. and that is where donald trump's deference to robert f. kennedy jr. is also unique. donald trump claims to really be the smartest guy on most subject matters, and if you listen to his interview with kristin welker, he reiterated to "time," he was going to listen to bobby kennedy and bobby kenne

they go to the fda. one of the questions i would ask if i were a u.s. republican or democrat, if you are in charge of hhs, are you going to commit to not intervening in these petitions to the fda over these vaccines? >> well, they seem to be making it abundantly clear the answer to that question is no. >> correct, but i believe they have to be on the record and they have to be pressed on it and they have to be pressed on it in a way that says exactly what you underscored, right, which is there are these vaccinations. there's the fact they are trying to put this pause in place, but there's also this question of i think what they are trying to do is say if you want it, you can get it. that is not how vaccinations work. they need to really get at that piece. >> if they outlaw or cut down on the distribution of vaccines, by definition you can't get it if you want it. for him to say during his interview, which i thought you handled well, that if he's working for them, he can keep getting it. how do you keep getting something that they're asking the fda to ba

for example, the fda acts on petitions.license a product, you have to petition them. if you want a product to be withdrawn or reevaluated, you often have to petition them. well, somebody on the outside needs to be tuitioning them. >> as "the times" notes if the senate confirms kennedy as health secretary, he will oversee the fda, and in that capacity kennedy could take the rare step of intervening in the fda's review of the petitions, some of which may be very well filed by aaron siri. the same man kennedy has called the greatest asset to the medical freedom movement. what are the odds that the senate will still vote to confirm rfk jr. even if it might mean the return of polio? i'm going to talk to jonathan martin, senior political columnist at politico, about just that coming up next. columnt just that coming up next >>> i walk into my meeting with mr. kennedy with an open mind. i can tell you this, i have reached one conclusion. he should fire his lawyer, the one that -- that petitioned the fda to get rid of the polio vac
