    via Seven former FDA commissioners wrote an opinion column for The Washington Post Sept. 29, in which they detail their disapproval of the White House's involvement in the agency during the pandemic.

    Some of the main grievances the authors laid out were the White House's announcement that it might block the FDA from issuing scientific guidance on vaccine approval; HHS Secretary Alex Azar's Sept. 15 renouncement of the agency's authority to create safety rules; and the White House's overruling of FDA scientists' decision on COVID-19 tests.
