(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.
