>>Not can be moved by politics...IS moved by politics.
Doesn't that mean the same? Unless you are saying that politics drives the FDA, fullstop?
So the FDA's blockage of using prostaglandins in pregnancy/childbirth for years after most first-world health systems adopted them, was actually a political matter?
Careful, there is somebody here called "JVP" who will discipline you if he feels you are making statements based on "anecdote" which he has redefined to mean "a superficial review" ... ;-)
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
