> People avoiding vaccination and thus dying because the FDA hasn’t done full approval is more than a political issue

People can refuse medical treatments, even if deemed in their utmost interest.

This isn’t about the option to refuse, this is about the reasons someone refuses.

The FDA does quite a bit of outreach over heath and food safety because information has real public health implications. Ex: https://www.fda.gov/food/buy-store-serve-safe-food/selecting...

Which isn’t to say their doing a great job, just that they consider it part of their mandate and they get funding for it.
