When I see “the FDA has stated…” I automatically think it is probably a corrupt conclusion bought by some powerplayer to maximize their own profit instead of having to do with whether the statement is true or not. I’ve always viewed FDA as basically a council of a bunch of power players on boards of Big Capitalism companies like Pepsi that make decisions based on control and market share rather than health.
but I see posts now about how trump attacking FDA equals bad. So is my view of FDA wrong? Are they noncorrupt? Are they a necessary evil? Should they be thrown in a volcano and remade?
Let say, hypothetically, a regulatory agency like the FDA, lets 50% of bad thing get approved.
Well what happens without the FDA?
100% of the bad things will be legal to sell.
So do you still want an FDA even if they are corrupt and let 50% of bad things go through?
And the FDA lets way less than 50% of bad things go through (I don’t have an exact number tho).
This is what people fail to take into account. Yeah, there are some departments that are going to be ran by incredibly incompetent people with almost no sane idea. But, that’s disregarding the people who’re not them who are still managing things and keeping said department from totally going batshit.
