Is the FDA good or bad?
(sh.itjust.works)
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?
FDA is intrinsically good but currently does its job below expectations. Doesn't mean that it's bad, just means it's not doing enough. And without FDA, things can and will get significantly worse. Things can always get worse.
I think a big part of that is that they're underfunded constantly, and it's probably about to get way worse
