Sure, I understand your point about not wanting to support the FDA, but simplifying the argument to "I care about saving lives while the FDA only cares about politics" oversimplifies things. The FDA exists because of political decisions, and we're currently facing a major crisis of knowledge, especially among certain groups of U.S. voters. Some of these groups are determined to break down regulatory agencies. Ignoring this situation could likely put any potential advantages of the FDA at risk.
