Sudafed doesn’t work. Neither does our system for evaluating older drugs

This is somewhat misleading. "Sudafed" has always been Pseudoephedrine, which does work.

Sudafed PE (the PE was obviously a tongue-in-cheek move by the manufacturers referencing "placebo effect") is a different thing. You can still buy real Sudafed but you have to get it from the pharmacist's counter.

The names, addresses, and work + personal phone numbers of every FDA official sharing responsibility for the negligence should be released.

Once these peoples' neighbors and acquaintances understand the mindless slaughter being perpetuated, they'll probably pressure FDA officials to be better people.
