Pharma was eye-opening (and, personally, infuriating) regarding problems with the FDA, drug approvals, individual inspectors, the industry-to-regulator (or vice versa) revolving door, and so on. You're not wrong that there are problems within the system and the individuals that work within it.
However, considering things like the polarized political climate, or certain parties proposals to tear the administrative branches apart I don't believe it would be productive to highlight or put forward the names of specific individuals within agencies like the FDA. I do think more public scrutiny or just light shedding upon the process could be good, but I don't see how enabling a raft of death threats or public name dragging would help.
