It would be more of a checklist. Chances are there would not be much disagreement. Tylenol, for example, is likely to be whitelisted by nearly any list maker.

It would be more of a checklist. Chances are there would not be much disagreement. Tylenol, for example, is likely to be whitelisted by nearly any list maker. The scenarios where there was a mix of approval and disapproval probably do warrant taking some extra time, yet few of us are able to do it today because we assume (falsely) that just because something is approved by the FDA it is safe (or unsafe if not approved). Effectiveness is a whole different question, and many drugs with significant side-effects do not do better than the placebo effect for some of their approved uses.
