you get to influence fda thinking. you get to sit at a small table with fda." >> one key person who sat on the steering committee for these meetings was doctor bob rappaport - the head of the fda division that regulates painkiller drugs. >> this is the voice of doctor rappaport at the fda hearing on the drug application for zohydro. >> throughout the hearing, rappaport repeatedly instructed the committee to focus narrowly on whether zohydro worked to relieve pain, rather than whether it would worsen the opioid epidemic. >> they did redirect us a few times when we were getting a little more concerned about individual safety. >> when the committee voted against approval, rappaport rebuked them for unfairly penalizing the drug company. >> it's hard not to learn from history. we're supposed to learn from history and try not to repeat our mistakes. >> there is not a legal basis by which fda can say we don't need another opioid because we've already had a lot of bad experience. >> doctor judith kramer voted against zohydro.

and that law gave the fda powers that the fda had been seeking for decades to issue recalls, for example, to require food producers to follow standard food safety procedures and so forth. so the fda is finally getting started on that process. the rules are out, they've been proposed. it's going to be a few years before they're completely implemented, but everybody knows that this is coming. and a lot of food producers have just gone onboard and started following these procedures. the other thing that's happened is the courts have started taking food safety more seriously, so the officials of the peanut corporation of america were convicted recently of doing very bad things. and this was the company that knew that its peanut butter was contaminated with salmonella and shipped it out anyway. and lots and lots of people got sick, and there were some deaths in that one. and so if between the fda's rules and an increased inspection ability and increased recall ability and what the courts are doing, i think we're going to see the safety system improve. >> host: one thing a lot of people know f

that combination plus the regulation of the fda fda, removal love resources from the fda gave food companies the opportunity to market in ways they had never before. they did that by making larger portions of food. and they put food everywhere. it looks like a grocery store. there is food every where where libraries would not allow food but not every library has the cafe. but humans each win the fluid is in front of us. the more food we see the more food we eat. >> many people that became effective when dash effective with ebola did not remember becoming contaminated at all. but did any event, one day he did not come to work and they found out he was keeping himself at home. he has isolated himself, was feeling ill. a few days previously the doctor was going off all loan which is the characteristic to smoke a cigarette. he never smoked in the board but he was now and later they knew that he was coming down and he wanted to protect the staff. they sent somebody to his house and they took the blood simple and he was positive at that point dr. colin decided he needed to get himself away because

fda and industry again are working together. also important to note, the cooperation of the agency and industry under the medical device innovation consortium under the initiative of dr. sherman which is also working well it is promising. so while these initiatives are certainly a recognition of the issue, they are unfortunately not enough. and we are hoping and willing to work with you to address these issues with all constituents to bring this cycle and this ecosystem back to work. there is a lot of work. and one thung i shouldn't forget, another large threat to the medical device is the medical device. it is taking fund from small and large from all over this country to fine the cures of tomorrow. and this will not show up time, ladies and gentlemen, but for years to come, if these fund aren't put back into the industry. we are here to offer help any way we can. our organization and industry will help any way we can. thank you very much. >> thank you. now to the physician and chief of children's hospital, philadelphia. >> tha

i'm with fda on this one. i had a colleague, a former colleague who was taking care of patients in africa, who got a needle stick. didn't develop ebola symptoms, but as you can imagine, everybody was very worried about him and he took one of the new therapeutics and got really, really ill. and you see that a lot. in antiinfectives that you're trying to tweak the immune system. you're trying to trick the immune system into mustering its defenses against this bug and the case of ebola, which you know, it's whole motive is to turn off the immune system and kind of sneak around into all the organs and the immune system doesn't know it's there until it's really multiplied beyond control. you turn on the immune system in the wrong way and you can kill people, so we have to do safety trials. it is crazy to think about giving out i think vaccine or therapeutics, particularly therapeutics, without safety trials. we do have to figure out how to do them very efficiently and effectively. about which this much brouhaha rig

so the fda is finally getting started on that process. the rules i wrote an purpose. it's going to be a few years before they are completely implemented. but everybody knows this is coming and a lot of just gone on board and started following these procedures. the other thing that has happened is a courts have started taking food safety more seriously. so the officials of the peanut corporation of america are working recently at doing very bad games. this is the company that knew a peanut butter was contaminated with salmonella and shipped it out anyways and lots and lots of people got sick and there were some deaths and not fun. so between the fda's rules and an increase inspection ability and increase recall ability and let the courts were doing, i think we are going to see the safety system improve. >> host: one thing a lot of people know from the u.s. department of agriculture is the food. med. is that a successful model? >> guest: well, the food. it went through 1992 through 2011 when the obama administration came in and got rid of it and replaced it. i happen to

could changes be made for the fda's blood donation policy. we got this report from the "l.a. times" saying the food and drug administration will decide whether to lift the ban on having gay men donate blood. this was back in the late '70s and early '80ss. australia and canada ended their bans. this brings us to our twitter question this morning. should the fda overturn the ban on gay men donating blood. do you think the science supports it. our young crew thought maybe our viewers didn't know this ban still exists. let us know what your thoughts are. our handi ining "way too early." >>> were the bills able to fend off the dolphins. >>> isn't that the wrong jon? jon stewart's stage? a surprise by an old colleague in last night's show.

as industry engages with regulators, with the fda, bringing that voice to the table, not every time but in certain situations that the pathways have never -- the road was never laid out before. that voice is just critical particularly in the selection of an end points, etc.. the efforts that efta and congress have gone through to enable dialogues between industry and the agency are commendable. i think they are superb expedited programs, fast-track, special protocol assessments, all of this but they don't incorporate that voice. personally as to my colleagues, i think it would really facilitate moving things a little more rapidly. >> thank you. >> i appreciate all the comments, and witnesses we can listen to, we end up with a good product and that is what this is about. your comments are right on. i want to help you on those as we appreciate but i am only interested in exploring the genomics education issue, great strides in the last 30 or 40 years as we move forward on that and i had what i consider a good conversation several months ago as we talk privately about where we should go wi
