" If that is the fast track process then I'd hate to see the slow track process."
The fast track process is problematic. AIDS drugs were fast tracked and lacking research info were only given to those who were very sick.
Years later, after research, we discovered the drugs worked best given when people were not yet very sick.If we fast track and hurt or kill some people then, of course, the "big pharma" will be taken to task for that. Just like we are doing now because they take too long.
