The views above share a similarity to the anti-vaccine crowd. Basically the FDA does such a great job at keeping our drug supply safe that people fail to properly understand the risks, just like vaccinations have done such a great job of preventing devistating illnesses. The most telling clue is he said the remedy for bad drugs is tort... Showing he clearly doesn’t understand the severity of the problem. Sorry our drugs killed your kid, but now you can sue us so everything is ok. They did have one good point, which is what is the opportunity cost of slowing down drug development with regulation and which way does the least harm. I don’t have the data to back up either side, but I’m not seeing a ton (there are some though) of medical breakthroughs in less regulated countries. |
