You're bringing up a very specific problem with the FDA that can be easily fixed with the same sort of legislation that prevents congressmen from becoming lobbyists for a number of years and talking about it like it's an existential issue. It's not.

Lol, just fucking lmao. "Let's add even more regulation to fix the issue caused, in large part, by regulation."

The FDA does incredibly important work preventing disease outbreaks and unsanitary food for all Americans. Perhaps you yourself are a snakeoil salesman that hates how the FDA prevents you from selling bullshit like it's real medicine?

Oh, you mean like the snakeoil salesmen that regulatory captured the FDA?

Not only that but the FDA has the most strict ethics body of any Federal agency. If there's even a hint of something unethical going on with a clinical trial the whole thing is basically cancelled. Everything must follow not only the letter of the law but the spirit as well.

Laughs in the literal thousands of "Have you taken X medication, if so you may be entitled to compensation" commercials.
