Media Bias Fact Check (MBFC) publishes daily vetted fact checks from verified IFCN-approved sources. Each claim is independently reviewed for accuracy and context.
Claimant: Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Claim: The FDA approved two oncology drugs “in record time,” one in 45 days and another in 55 days, and “the closest before that was 310 days.”
Rating: MISLEADING
Explanation: The approvals involved expanded uses or combinations of previously approved drugs, not entirely new drugs. Kennedy also compared those expedited reviews to an average review time for all new drug applications, creating a misleading comparison.
