Is the FDA really a mess?
What evidence does anyone bring to the table to prove that?
Because it takes years to get a new drug onto the market?
I don't doubt that. Research takes time and time is money.
It takes money to create really breakthrough drugs, and it take years to study the effects of of these drugs on people, too.
And we're blaming the FDA for the scientific process?
Might as well blame the pharmauetical companies for doing thier research thoroughly
That makes about as much sense as blaming the FDA for demanding that new drugs that come on the market are safe.
You have that backwords ... if it only took years to get any meds on the market ... but that's not the case. Not by a long shot. The reality is some take years because the companies making them are new and can't afford the bribes, while too many are released in the US far too quickly because they can bribe the FDA and are over prescribed because they bribe the AMA. Look at the recent mass recalls and lawsuits because of recalled drugs that were put into wide use for the perfect example ... arthritis medication that I was prescribed was one, turns out, that's why I have to wear diapers now. So yeah, the FDA is fucked up.
