"do we still have people taking arsenic en masse to cure baldness? No."
Yeah, we have things called "clinical trials" that pretty much put an end to the bad old days of patent medicine. Guess who enforces that stuff?
The rest of your post is a straw-man. Does the FDA make mistakes? Sure. That doesn't invalidate the need for the agency. Is it your right to do stupid things with your body? See previous comment.

I said "en masse", that is to say, do we have a massive amount of people taking arsenic everyday to cure boldness? No we don't, and yet anyone can read about it on the web. > Does the FDA make mistakes? Sure. That doesn't invalidate the need for the agency. Yes it does, I've just explained that the FDA is responsible for more death than if we had no FDA while taking away people's freedom do cure themselves the way they want. > Is it your right to do stupid things with your body? See previous comment. Well, according to you, only if the FDA approves so, the same FDA responsible for countless deaths. No thanks.
