The threat should simply be ignored and Hahn should proceed as if it had never happened. I am frustrated when there is any "extra" delay in the approval process of any treatment, but like it or not the FDA is a process driven organization. This fact protects us (almost perfectly) from errors due to a rushed approval process, but it also means you have to let the FDA do things it's way. Sometimes that leads to the FDA to being arrogant, inefficient, and slow. It is a balance that constantly needs to be addressed. Threats from the POTUS obviously do not facilitate such a balance and are inadmissible, period.
