“The good old days, you know?”
These are not “the good old days”.
The FDA’s objectivity is severely compromised by money it gets directly from drug, device and vaccine makers. It’s roughly 1/5th of their operating budget.

FDA brass is in hot water with Congress for spying on, harassing, and firing FDA workers who’ve been blowing the whistle to Congress on unsafe medical devices.

“These are not “the good old days””
I know.
I miss the good old days when children were ravaged and crippled by polio, people died by the hundreds of thousands from smallpox, and all those other wonderful vaccine-prevantable diseases tore through populations making people sick, sterile, and scarred for life.
Damn vaccines ruined it for everyone.
I blame Dr. Jonas Salk, in particular. He was a dirty Jew, you know.
