doesn't that mean that any drug approved by the FDA can be taken out of circulation by anyone who can get a judge to rule for them?

Does it also mean that a judge can force the FDA to approve drugs that aren't safe or haven't been fully tested?

Will they be able to outlaw Covid vaccines, via one judge with an agenda?

Sounds impossible, right? But, if they agree with the "arguments" of this judge, all bets are off.

If they uphold the MAGA judge Bettie Apr 2023 #3

Yes. It will open the door to chaos, and every unscientific, conspiracy nutcase JohnSJ Apr 2023 #4

I am concerned that there are deep pocketed Bettie Apr 2023 #5

I agree JohnSJ Apr 2023 #17

Pharma companies could also start bribing judges to knock out the competition. tinrobot Apr 2023 #9

I had thought of that as well Bettie Apr 2023 #10

yup, and if a judge can remove approval, it stands to reason they could force approval too Takket Apr 2023 #16

We all know how this is going to be decided budkin Apr 2023 #6

The later in the day they choose to release it Bettie Apr 2023 #8

Yep. I'll be shocked if it's otherwise. Oneironaut Apr 2023 #15

Then I guess "we all" were wrong? onenote Apr 2023 #23

I'm shocked, tbh budkin Apr 2023 #25

They're going to uphold the insane Texas Judge's ruling Marius25 Apr 2023 #7

Guess again. onenote Apr 2023 #22

Yeah, glad to be wrong. Marius25 Apr 2023 #24

There always was going to be more litigation. onenote Apr 2023 #26

Is this the final ruling (on merits) Mad_Machine76 Apr 2023 #13

Excellent question. I THINK it's on the injunction, but.... LAS14 Apr 2023 #14

It's a ruling on whether the partial stay granted by the 5th Circuit should be expanded onenote Apr 2023 #18

If i'm understanding what you're saying, then maybe only deciding one of two ways? bluestarone Apr 2023 #19

It's a bit more complicated because the Fifth Circuit decision wasn't all or nothing onenote Apr 2023 #20

A lot of wrong guesses in this thread. onenote Apr 2023 #21
