How do we get from “the FDA, were they a lot more competent, could have speed up this one even more” to “the FDA tried to prevent it from happening”?

Choosing to not take any of the suggestions for faster testing for safety / efficacy (human challenge trials) but instead choosing to decide that the multi-year long process was the only possibility *was a choice by FDA*. They chose delay - passive resistance.

It took less than a year to approve the vaccines.

It took nearly a year when it could have taken 6 weeks. That's putting as many obstacles in the way of approval as they can get away with - if they tried to slow it more, discussion would have turned to eliminating the agency and barring all employees from government for life.

I’m arguing FDA benevolence and incompetency. You’re arguing FDA malevolence and hypercompetency. It’s the FDA. It’s incompetence.

Hypercomptence at bureaucratic obstruction. Putting out a request for a proposal for a 6 week process with human challenge trials permitted was all they needed to do - someone else could have come up with the actual plan. They chose not to do that b/c they didn't want to approve

A massive org settling on a radical solution they’ve never used before in a time where even voicing nonstandard ideas will get you fired is a nearly intractable coordination problem. This is the real world.

Yet somehow every other massive org settled on never before used radical solutions...

And it’s extremely surprising and seen as heralding a new age of technological progress. And it’s orgs whose job it is to innovate. The FDAs job is to regulate, which they did, but faster than usual.

This is like Moldbug saying “the USA is communist”. How about using words and language like normal people??

How about instead you learn to appreciate insight that you could never generate on your own?
