    Pffft. Next up, FDA declines to approve aspirin for headaches. Give me a break. The whole rent-seeking bureaucracy around American medicine is ridiculous.

      As someone with a chronic disease.

      Bodies like the FDA are needed. Otherwise you get spammed with a million treatments from your doctor whose payed off by pharmaceuticals to sell treatments even if they don’t work.

        While I agree the FDA has a history of caving to outside business interests.

        Otherwise you get spammed with a million treatments from your doctor whose payed off by pharmaceuticals to sell treatments even if they don’t work.

        That already happens.
