What I want is fewer people to die while waiting for the FDA to take years to approve already existing drugs. You seem to care more about marketing than people

You seem to care more about marketing than people's lives. We all have different priorities.

- kradeelav 4y ago(Not the OP) In a macro sense, I'd agree with you; no stranger to having to weigh the risks/rewards of experimental drugs. But at the same time, I do get why extensive approval is needed - deaths can and often do occur from allergic reactions and/or side effects to medicines, and the idea is to hopefully lower the ratio of that happening. At some point more people "will" die from allergic reactions/side effects than the time it takes to get approval.
