the article since there is so much confusion what we are actually talking about https://edition.cnn.com/2025/07/23/politics/fda-ai-elsa-drug-regulation-makary
I'm pretty sure that undermining confidence in drug approvals is a feature, not a bug. The same people who were screeching about mRNA vaccines being secret poison that was rushed through approval are the ones doing this now, so when (not if) it does actually lead to dangerous drugs being approved and a collapse in confidence in the FDA, they'll be the ones saying "We told you so" and getting their anti-medical way.
It's the exact same playbook Republicans use in the rest of the government: Say Government doesn't work, cry about government spending, and insist government regulation is crushing personal freedoms, then they actually do all of those things and when the next administration comes around they pass on the blame and say "I Told You So."
The FDA need to get out of the way anyway. So much of what could be done isn't done because they take their sweet time with decisions.
The average approval time for a new drug is about a decade mostly because the FDA just don't do anything for the first 9 and 1/2 years. The covid vaccines were approved in a hot minute though and there was absolutely no issues with them despite what the conspiracy theorists thought. In fact they primarily based their conspiracy theory on the fact that normally the FDA takes forever and today in order to approve anything. Proving only that it doesn't need to take that long in the first place.
