Assuming the FDA is corrupted is one thing, assuming regulatory bodies ACROSS the world are all corrupted at the very same time is just very close to being a ridiculous claim.

it's known as "regulatory capture" and it's extremely common.

Most planning authorities worldwide are captured by property developers.

The more money involved in an industry, the more likely it is that the industry regulator is captured.

Regulatory capture will mean that outsiders - small companies without big pharma connections - will find it difficult to get effective drugs approved.

Similarly, innovative ways of proving drug effectiveness, even if they are more efficient and accurate, will be difficult to bring into practice.

Humans are the same everywhere. Corruption is universal.
