As a community we seem to be unable to accept a small number of adverse consequences or outcomes even when waiting to make a further determination comes at the knowable cost of accepting a greater number of adverse consequences or outcomes, and where those outcomes might be more adverse.
I understand that taking no prophylactic action and accepting a random adverse consequence as “fate” might to some seem preferable than suffering an adverse consequence arising from that prophylactic action, but one needs to consider the probabilities and level of adverse effect.
Gary, not only do I agree with you that the FDA adds unnecessary costs and delays but they clearly favor big pharma. How many drugs have been approved that caused mayhem in side affects? How many have been recalled? Yet many safer drugs have been sidelined and prevented from getting to market earlier all because big pharma wanted to buy them. Very sickening (pun intended).
