There are so many awful drugs still in use that have taken decades for people to rile up enough of a backlash for the FDA to do something about it. And even then they're bought out to do things like "blackbox warnings" instead of take drugs off the market. These warnings basically are 'we should take the drug off the market because it causes serious problems' but it never happens. Take fluoroquinolones for example. In use since the 70s. Studies since the 90s knew about serious toxic adverse effects. Took until just this last decade for their use to become limited, with an unknown number of people whose lives have been likely ruined or terminated by the drugs.
