Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Robert Califf said the spread of misinformation about health matters is an important reason Americans have a shorter life expectancy than those in other first-world countries.
“You think about the impact of a single person reaching a billion people on the internet all over the world; we just weren’t prepared for that. We don’t have societal rules that are adjudicating it quite right, and I think it’s impacting our health in very detrimental ways,” he added. The spread of misinformation when it comes to U.S. health decisions is not limited to addressing COVID-19, according to Califf. It includes information surrounding health conditions such as cardiovascular diseases and strokes. The drug industry is currently working on studies of new medicines for obesity and diabetes.

The drug, mifepristone, was approved for use by the Food and Drug Administration more than two decades ago. It’s used in combination with a second drug, misoprostol.
