You mean bans on recent industry affiliation and cooling-off periods? Like the recent federal vaccine committee (ACIP) under Trump? If I understand correctly, the current ACIP members have pretty good insulation from the vaccine industry. I would uh guess that uh many people would disagree that such a disconnect with industry results in better outcomes.

It's not a binary choice between industry stooges and admin stooges. Believe it or not competent people exist in the middle. Better outcomes do exist when the regulatory body isn't working at the behest of industry and isn't filled imcmompentant "yes" men.
