The entire HR department at the CDC is gone. Everyone at the IRB, which makes sure studies are conducted ethically and rigorously, and the ethics office, which oversee conflicts of interest for CDC leaders and advisory committee members, were also let go.

Great point, Sarah. I don't think anyone considered major FDA AC reforms until Califf put it on the table.
I have a hard time believing that FDA has all the product-specific expertise it needs for reviews, so a policy-only AC strategy will be a huge loss for decision-making as well as transparency
