You're right, but because nuance isn't allowed on HN, you'll be down voted.

Primarily the focus has shifted to faster approvals with evidence for new methods and drugs coming down to one high quality trial, and removed stipulations for randomized control trials for ultra rare diseases.

Could you share how RFK's policies helped bring this to market faster? (Not challenging you, by the way. Just need help connecting the dots.)

Seems like the CNPV used is a Trump admin project though no idea how much RFK is involved. If they Warp Speed All The Things that’s a pretty good idea.

Nuance is fine. There's not much nuance in the parent post.
