So in your hierarchy of trust the drug companies are the least trustworthy, the FDA is slightly more trustworthy and random unnamed people are the most trustworthy?
- baddox 11y agoI haven't decided on a hierarchy. I asked why I should expect the FDA to be more reliable than the drug companies.
- clarky07 11y agobecause they aren't for profit? their only reason for existing at all is to keep harmful things from being approved for sale. I'm by no means saying the FDA is perfect or infallible, far from it. Just that it's super easy to rank them above the drug companies in reliability as to a drugs safety and efficacy.
- baddox 11y agoI don't see why profit incentive is obviously a worse way to get reliability than the incentives of politicians and FDA employees.
