So this isn’t a helpful tone. You are politicizing this, the FDA doesn’t just trust poorly done studies and common sense, this is why we didn’t approve Thalidomide when it was widely considered safe.

Additionally you are responding to an article about people who took the drug to treat Covid-19. Peoples lives are at stake on both sides, a politician with no medical training should know better than to run his mouth about something he knows nothing about.

No, they did not. They took an aquarium cleaning chemical with a similar name.

The FDA also makes mistakes.

For example they total stuffed it up with their handling of Oxycontin:
