I hope that the FDA has learned from the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration and the Boeing 737 MAX catastrophy. Credibility is easy to be lost and hard to be gained again.
>Credibility is easy to be lost and hard to be gained again.
I disagree. If you have media in your team, this is easy, given some time. Particularly in current times when you have a treasure trove of possible distractions that you can make the media throw at a gullible public.
If one looks closely, then I think CDC/FDA etc have lost credibility a long time back. The real events portrayed in documentaries like "What lies upstream" and movies like "Dark Waters" should be enough to reject these agencies outright.
What is enormously surprising to me is that, not only we consider them very credible, but are also willing to consider their word as unfailable and final in many cases.
Even more sad thing is that the power of CDC/FDA extends even to many developing countries, so this affects much more than their home country.
