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.

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.

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
