    The FDA need to get out of the way anyway. So much of what could be done isn’t done because they take their sweet time with decisions.

    The average approval time for a new drug is about a decade mostly because the FDA just don’t do anything for the first 9 and 1/2 years. The covid vaccines were approved in a hot minute though and there was absolutely no issues with them despite what the conspiracy theorists thought. In fact they primarily based their conspiracy theory on the fact that normally the FDA takes forever and today in order to approve anything. Proving only that it doesn’t need to take that long in the first place.
