don't wanna kill all regulations, just the stupid ones. it was appropriately applied regulations that kept thalidomide from being prescribed wholesale in 1960:
Frances Kathleen Oldham Kelsey…was a Canadian-American[1] pharmacologist and physician who had a 45-year career with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). As a reviewer, she refused to authorize thalidomide for market because she had concerns about the lack of evidence regarding the drug's safety.[2]… Kelsey's career intersected with the passage of laws strengthening FDA oversight of pharmaceuticals.
