You can't cherry pick victories and ignore the failures. Hell, I was on Vioxx for a while and now have to worry about heart attacks and strokes more than the average person. Gee thanks FDA!

The FDA also has a long history of whistleblowers to fight FDA corruption. Drugs like Avandia and Rezulin should give you pause.

Yes, lazy bureaucrats, rubber stamping, politics, and monied interests work together to make FDA approval a crap shoot. I never understood this whole "worship the state" aspect millennials subscribe to. The state has its own agenda and its usually counter to yours.
