      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.

      Closing gyms and restaurants and building plywood seating areas in the gutters in front of restaurants in NYC is a new age of technological progress? Every bureaucracy managed to do dozens unprecedented, radical things except FDA.

      mRNA vaccines are. I ask again for the evidence that the FDA wanted to prevent approval.

      The evidence is that they took 11 months (with a multi-week delay for no reason at all at the end just 'cause their next regularly scheduled meeting wasn't for a few weeks) rather than 6 weeks. If they tried to take longer, they would have lost the ability to block it at all.
