Last note to @ATabarrok & @ezraklein. We got lucky w/ vaccines. Many other decisions @US_FDA are made at margins & the push from libertarian right to further weaken the approval process serves no one. We know less & less about what we put in our bodies, pay more & more for it. 1/

Of course, the false narrative that the
@US_FDA is too strict, that people are dying because the FDA's requirements are too onerous and the process takes too long is propaganda, not fact. In actuality, FDA approves drugs on average faster than many advanced nations. -
The narrative that the "FDA is killing people" is a propaganda ploy designed to rally support for measures to hobble and neuter the FDA. Fortunately, I was wrong when I predicted that Peter Thiel would pick Trump's FDA Commissioner.
