Sure, but (now flagged) OP was specifically criticizing the FDA. Which very much didn't make this argument. And, fwiw, I think it's important we don't conflate criticism of institutions with criticism of statements random people on the Internet made. (We can and should criticize either, but separately - the FDA being wrong has a much different meaning than somebody on the Internet being wrong)
