Article about how Europeans are using advanced sunscreens, but the FDA hasn't approved anything new for 15 years. The article is over seven years old. Guess what has happened in the meantime.

Or in 2014 Congress told the FDA to gets its act together and approve some more advanced sunscreens after decades of dithered and they still haven’t done it. marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolu

Still not having an official non-emergency approval of the mRNA COVID vaccines despite widespread usage is also being used as highly effective FUD against them. I don't really understand how that's possible after such broad usage over what's now an increasingly long time period.

They definitely seem ridiculously incompetent, as does the CDC with how long they took to admit that COVID is airborne. Not as bad as the WHO, but still awful. Do they admit that the flu is primarily airborne yet, or are they still claiming it's largely from touching stuff too?

Sucks that people portray listening to these highly politicized, incompetent bureaucracies as being listening to science. They seem a lot more focused on traditions, politics and their egos than what science has found. Meanwhile, they approve this: nytimes.com/2021/06/07/hea
