I work in IT but I have been in the industry for over 20 years. I know what they have to go through for filing for approvals and FDA inspections.

Do you know pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics? I do.

Edit: Not trying to be rude, I swear. Saying you’re in the pharmaceutical industry, but work in IT is like me saying I’m in pro football, but I actually have a fantasy team.

I work in IT, and I used to work for a Radiology company in and out of several outpatient facilities and hospitals.. I didn't run around telling people I worked in Radiology or the medical field. I worked in IT. Get over yourself.

Those are studying what the body does with the drugs and what the drugs do to the body.

I have to go through GMP and FDA compliance stuff every year even being in IT in this industry. So I understand what it takes for our scientists to work on and manufacture the drugs that go through our facility.

I know what they are. I also understand when a product is rushed for approval and short cuts are taken. Less than 9 months from start to finish in a process that normally takes 3-5 years.

There have been no shortcuts taken in our plant in the manufacturing process. All the same testing and approvals apply as for anything else we produce and allow a batch to leave our site.

Manufacturing is different than the actual process of creating the drug. You’re dealing with the finished product.

You really think fill-finish isn't doing the same procedures? Come on now.

No I don’t. During the creation of the drug they’re putting different compounds and different chemicals in there to see what might work. They’re not doing that with a finished product during manufacturing.

What? We take the process from the lab and scale it up for manufacturing. We're not changing the compounds and chemicals for it. You'd have to validate the process all over again.

Fill finish is just taking the active ingredients and putting them into the vials and final packaging. They are definitely not changing anything.

They went through all the trials pahses they are supposed to go through. Drug manufacturing still has to go through the same regulatory and safety protocols. I work at a place making a vaccine now and nothing is different about our process than we've had for the many other things we manufacture as well.
