They really shouldn't be making them in the first place. They are regulating the approval process, so to also make recommendations is a conflict of interest. It isn't just a medical thing. The NHTSA tests cars for safety, but the test data isn't great, so the IIHS turns around and runs better tests. The same should be true of the CDC and AAP, or better yet instead of the AAP an insurance organization should be analyzing data and recommending incentives based on it, without direct input from pharmaceutical manufacturers or the CDC or any other government organization.
