Project Veritas: FDA Executive Officer Exposes Close Ties Between Agency and Pharmaceutical Companies (VIDEO)

Project Veritas on Wednesday released part two of a two-part “Expose FDA” series.

FDA Executive Officer Chris Cole told an undercover Project Veritas journalist all about the agency’s close ties with the pharmaceutical companies.

“The drug companies, the food companies, the vaccine companies. So, they pay us hundreds of millions of dollars a year to hire and keep the reviewers to approve their products,” Chris Cole said.

Project Veritas published Part Two of its series on the FDA on Wednesday night which featured FDA Executive Officer, Christopher Cole, speaking about the inner workings of the agency including the FDA’s conflicts of interest, overspending, and why it’s hard for those within the agency to speak out on such abuses.

In the footage, Cole talks about the impact that pharmaceutical companies have on the agency including the process for approving drugs.

“A long time ago, Congress approved user fees for [the] FDA. Basically, we charge the industry millions of dollars in order to hire more drug reviewers and vaccine reviewers, which will speed up the approval process, so they make more money,” Cole says in the hidden camera footage.

He then reveals that the FDA tones down the impact that these user fees have on the agency’s operations because, “they’re dependent on the drug companies, and the vaccine companies and these other companies for their agency to operate.”

On Tuesday, the FDA exec revealed Joe Biden is going to require an annual Covid shot.

“Biden wants to inoculate as many people as possible,” said Christopher Cole, FDA Executive Officer of Countermeasures Initiative.

“You’ll have to get an annual shot [COVID vaccine]. I mean, it hasn’t been formally announced yet ‘cause they don’t want to, like, rile everyone up.”

A spokesperson for FDA issued a statement yesterday saying, “The person purportedly in the video does not work on vaccine matters and does not represent the views of the FDA.”
