The UK versus FDA Thalidomide experience is at least one good reason.

That's fifty years ago. If you think a fifty years ago story is why the FDA is delaying, I differ. They're delaying because of IPR chauvinism, and massive amounts of NIH and I'm not talking about nih.gov

The FDA approved phen-fen, vioxx, des, the opiod disaster.. the hold up on AZ is not because they have magic time machine insight into why AZ should be delayed.
