Don't understand, or feel contempt based on ideology without understanding? Even if you disagree with how the FDA has handled COVID vaccines - largely in the face of pressure and infiltration by an administration sharply opposed to any regulatory mission - there are many other things that it does. Would you forego all FDA oversight of food, drugs (not just vaccines), medical devices, and radiation-emitting products? Throw that all into the courts, which can never address a harm until after the fact and even in those cases is even less equipped to handle the issues under FDA's mandate?
People who've done at least minimal diligence can certainly disagree with some of the things FDA does. There's plenty of room for that, but "fail to understand" why others don't share your spitting hatred of the agency as a whole? Sorry, but that's not even a position that deserves to be taken seriously.
