I see this kind of reply all the time.
"Fine, you guys were right, the gov fucked up - but at least we learned, fixed it and moved on."
Narrator: Nothing was fixed, and they did not learn.

Why here it's also not rare to see people complain about the onerous regulations on nuclear power, guess where those came from?
These doctors deliberately poisoned people for a sick experiment while lying about it.
If you really can't tell the difference, and if it isn't obvious to you that the latter can't be "fixed" simply with stricter regulation, I don't know what to tell you.
I don't see a fundamental difference. Harm was done, rules should be put in place to prevent it in the future. Whether it was negligence or intentional is just a detail.
I don't see what's different about intentional harm that's not preventable with regulation. You put more people in the loop. You ensure that whoever breaks the rules sees no benefit. You can't prevent everything of course, but you can cut down a lot on it.
>From April 1945 to July 1947, 18 men, women, and children were injected with plutonium by doctors working with the Manhattan Project
And then...
>In 1952, Chester M. Southam, a Sloan-Kettering Institute researcher, injected live cancer cells, known as HeLa cells, into prisoners at the Ohio State Penitentiary and cancer patients. Also at Sloan-Kettering, 300 healthy females were injected with live cancer cells without being told. The doctors stated that they knew at the time that it might cause cancer.
And then from 1953...
>Project MKUltra was an illegal human experimentation program designed and undertaken by the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), intended to develop procedures and identify drugs that could be used in interrogations to weaken individuals and force confessions through brainwashing and psychological torture.
And yet again....
>In 1963, 22 elderly patients at the Jewish Chronic Disease Hospital in Brooklyn, New York City were injected with live cancer cells by Chester M. Southam, who in 1952 had done the same to prisoners at the Ohio State Prison.
There are hundreds of examples that we know of. There's even more than one Wikipedia article full of them.
