The FDA APPROVES these drugs, but when the drug is found to be unsafe they blame it on the drug companies.
Typical government, never accepting responsibility for the damage it does.

Their accounting is deplorable. Consider the loss of lives versus saving of lives caused by "X" drug. Drug X on net saves twice as many lives as it causes deaths. The FDA chooses over-caution because no FDA employees wants it in their files that drug X caused Y amount of deaths. In part their excuse is that a dead person can be identified by name. Whereas the specific people whose lives were saved is unknowable. In the end the FDA rejects the live-saving drug.
Plus, there's a ton of politics in the FDA. It banned the artificial sweetener Saccharine based on lab test using rats. They fed the rats so much Saccharine the human equivalent would require a person to drink seven-hundred cans of diet soda a day. Heck, just seventy twelve-ounce cans (over six gallons) of plain water a day would probably kill a person.
How many people with heart conditions suffered unnecessarily or died because of FDA politics.
