While the current participants in the system might not be perfect, it should be appreciated that humanity has seldom had it better in terms of being able to trust civic institutions.

I don’t see the purpose of complaining about it in a situation where the institutions are working as intended (and desired).




Here, the institution has approved a couple Alzheimers drugs and an ALS drug that do nothing-- overcome by both things mentioned above that should not have the power to approve a drug -- "greed from the drug manufacturer and wishful thinking from the afflicted" -- indeed, the exact purpose of drug regulators is to safeguard is from those things.

So: there's a purpose in complaining about it and hoping that regulator and regulation can be improved.
