The FDA is chronically short on inspectors. Eyebrows shouldn't be raised over the fact that they haven't inspected any particular place -no matter how "know to be problematic"- but that they've been able to perform inspections at all given that the US government is not interested in funding the FDA, and it's only going to get worse over the next 4 years.

Are the total number of approved medications that the FDA overseas higher now than 30 years ago? What's the average FDA funding per approved medication today versus 30 years ago? Are the number of manufacturers higher? Are there higher numbers of manufacturers overseas than 30 years ago? Is the submission process more complicated than 30 years ago? Are the medication formulations/manufacturing processes more complicated than 30 years ago? If the supply chain more complicated than 30 years ago?
