None of the 70,000 Adverse Events of Puberty Blocking Drugs Were a "Safety Priority" for Biden's FDA
Back in the early 2000s, the FDA launched the Safety First Steering Committee (SFSC). It was started to address the safety concerns of marketed drugs of noteworthy concern to Americans. Today, the acronym is still found ubiquitously throughout FDA documents, but those links no longer function.

It appears to have been replaced by the Drug Risk Management Board (DRMB). The DRMB has no public-facing web page, but it appears that the DRMB is just a rebranded SFSC.
Per the FDA:
“The DRMB is a cross-CDER governance board responsible for three key objectives: (1) facilitating and coordinating decisions around major product safety issues, (2) providing clear and consistent guidance enabling an appropriate response to major safety issues, and (3) systematically communicating decisions and resulting actions across the Center and to other stakeholders as appropriate. In addition, the DRMB facilitates and coordinates all new and existing marketed product-safety initiatives.”
The Drug Safety Monitoring Board was chaired by Dr. Patrizia Cavazzoni, the head of the FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER). Cavazzoni unexpectedly resigned just hours prior to Donald Trump’s inauguration on Jan 20th, 2025.
