It makes sense to rush new medical devices and drugs to market when there's no better option. For example the Reagan FDA removed the review process for new AIDs drugs during the 1980s epidemic. But the FDA should have scrutinized vaginal mesh more closely given that there are already so many effective forms of birth control.

People also need to remember that you can't pick and choose regulations. I feel like many readers of this article will be rightfully appalled, but conversely also want to see increased medical use of psychedelics and marijuana despite a similar lack of research on long-term effects.
