Seems well qualified on paper.
The production run failure is not a matter by which he can or should be judged as drug production runs are notoriously unreliable. ‘In 2019 the Federal Drug Shortages Task Force reported that 62% of drugs that went into shortage between 2013 and 2017 were associated with manufacturing or product quality problems, such as substandard manufacturing processes or quality defects in the finished products.’ These were drugs already on the market and successfully produced in the past without problems.
The moral of the story problems occur even when drugs have been successfully produced.
