Abortion Pill Safety Decisions by FDA Were Science-Based, New JAMA Study Finds Irving Washington , Hagere Yilma , and Joel Luther

https://www.kff.org/health-information-trust/abortion-pill-safety-decisions-by-fda-were-science-based-new-jama-study-finds/ A new study found that Food and Drug Administration (FDA) decisions about the abortion pill mifepristone consistently followed scientific evidence, even as misleading claims about the drug’s safety continue to shape public understanding. And Google removed some health AI summaries after a Guardian investigation reported that AI-generated summaries for search results about multiple health topics, including cancer screening, liver disease, and mental health conditions, shared false and potentially dangerous health information. While the full extent of inaccurate health information in these AI-generated summaries is unclear, patient advocacy organizations described the examples as “dangerous” and “alarming.”
