When I see “the FDA has stated…” I automatically think it is probably a corrupt conclusion bought by some powerplayer to maximize their own profit instead of having to do with whether the statement is true or not. I’ve always viewed FDA as basically a council of a bunch of power players on boards of Big Capitalism companies like Pepsi that make decisions based on control and market share rather than health.

but I see posts now about how trump attacking FDA equals bad. So is my view of FDA wrong? Are they noncorrupt? Are they a necessary evil? Should they be thrown in a volcano and remade?

    Let say, hypothetically, a regulatory agency like the FDA, lets 50% of bad thing get approved.

    Well what happens without the FDA?

    100% of the bad things will be legal to sell.

    So do you still want an FDA even if they are corrupt and let 50% of bad things go through?

    And the FDA lets way less than 50% of bad things go through (I don’t have an exact number tho).
