Congress gives them plenty of slack for being slow to approve things.

Congress gives them plenty of slack for being slow to approve things.
- AnimalMuppet 11y agoYes. And very little if they approve something too fast that causes problems.
- Fomite 11y agoExcept that there are counter-examples to this. The FDA's careful for a reason. For example, take the first Rotavirus vaccine (Rotashield), which was associated with intussusception (it's no longer clear it even caused it). It was pulled from the market, but Congress definitely got involved, an newer, unrelated rotavirus vaccines have very, very active post-market intussusception surveillance studies associated with them.
