FDA Executive Officer: "Almost a Billion Dollars a Year Going into FDA's Budget from the People we Regulate"

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."

The incendiary footage, which features Cole talking about how the additional money the FDA brings in "gets banked" to be spent on "whatever you can, whether it's right or wrong,'' also features Cole discussing reasons why it's difficult for anyone in government to speak out about practices he sees as "probably excessive."

"I don't think there's enough people saying they're, like, `Look, that's fine, but that's not right. So, we're not going to charge that.' You don't want to be that person. You're not going to have a long shelf life in the agency if you're always that person," Cole said.

"There's not an incentive to speak out in government, surprisingly. You would think there would be, but there's not. It's better just to just not say anything and just ignore it. The whistleblower, well, it's high-profile whistleblower statutes and everything, that's kind of ridiculous," Cole said before adding "it's better to just stay quiet and accept."

Cole's LinkedIn page lists him as an Executive Officer within the agency's Countermeasures Initiatives, which plays a critical role in ensuring that drugs, vaccines, and other measures to counter infectious diseases and viruses are safe. He made these revelations on a hidden camera to an undercover Project Veritas reporter.

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."

This statement appears to contradict a phone call released Wednesday afternoon by Project Veritas wherein Cole reiterated, during the conversation with Project Veritas Founder and CEO, James O'Keefe, that he is "a manager in the office that helps oversee the approval of the COVID vaccines for emergency approval."
