LOL, thank you for accepting defeat.
The FDA is a federal agency and therefore all budgets and funding are publicly managed and audited. All funding disclosed. They have to be more transparent than Trump's tax returns haha.
Ask yourself, how can you investigate whether or not the FDA is corrupt, when the main source of information from the OP is obviously misleading...? I guess you dont want to deny ignorance, enjoy that reality shot.

Thank you for this acknowledgement. To comprise and find a mutual ground to discuss from, I will agree that regardless of the funding disclosures, there may be nefarious funding and/or lobbying going on at the FDA. You cant ignore people/companies with a 45% stake in the organization.

You make no sense. I was stating my opinion of the quality of the information being presented in the video. Based on the fact that her first claim is a lie, I have trouble trusting anything else she said.
What bias? I am stating fact...it is from the FDA themselves. Published, public documents.
There is a big difference between 45 and 75%. We are talking about shifting from a majority to a minority. Is this math and its implications difficult for you?
have accepted no such thing. Don't flatter yourself. As I have repeatedly pointed out, and you have repeatedly ignored, I addressed the variance in the OP.
Seriously? Did you read that after you typed it?
I don't know that the source or the article she is quoting is misleading. Neither do you considering what you just posted above.
So you feel that a little funding from Big Pharma is OK, but a lot would be problematic?

Hmmm...'75% of FDA funding comes from Big Pharma'.
That's an interesting tidbit.

As I pointed out in my OP, and MDDoxs has pointed out, the number may be lower. Who knows? Getting accurate percentages is likely not possible. Certainly not from the FDA themselves.

Yes its okay, but obviously not the perfect situation. It can be problematic, you cant easily ignore a companies/people with a 45% stake in your organization. The FDA needs that money, so therefore is beholden to atleast consider Pharma's wishes.
But we the people, owning the majority have the ultimate decision on what initiatives to pursue and what approvals to give.

She lost me at "praise the lord" if I'm honest.
What's ok is the FDA approval.
