Apparently, Dr. Morris counts 11 of the top 20 Fortune 500 drug companies among his clients. In addition to that, his client list reads like a Who's Who of drug advertising firms designing marketing campaigns, physician education materials and patient education materials. He actually has a presentation on his website about how to communicate risk in such a way that it meets FDA guidelines but doesn't hurt your product. |
Today's meeting is a perfect example of why the FDA needs to be wrung out from top to bottom. Children die while the FDA plays footsy with psychiatrists and their allies in the pharmaceutical industry. |
We understand that Dr. Morris may not be participating in this meeting. But, considering this gentleman's broad consulting interests in the pharmaceutical and drug advertising industries, it is hard to envision a committee meeting in which he would not have a conflict of interest. That's why we're calling for his immediate resignation. |
