Further thought is that, again as I tweeted (to @matthewherper in this case), I hope if we are going to swing to a too permissive FDA, that we go whole hog back to the 1950s. I think that likely has the least long term damage because it will crash and burn quickly (quickly is all relative - perhaps 10 years before it becomes apparent to the public that something is very very wrong)
Not sure I agree with the two of you. Legit companies with legit drugs will presumably be able to differentiate their drugs from others in the marketplace with their superior drugs. The marketplace will be the ultimate arbiter. So, an easier approval process in general (if really true) seems bullish to me for legit companies with legit drugs, particularly the small-cap biotechs I focus on that traditionally have longer odds for their drugs to reach market.
