I am absolutely NOT making any economic argument for approval or that an investment beyond $x should somehow guarantee approval! They are all professionals and know the risks and how to manage them.
And NO this is not about "money suddenly cannot buy favors". This is about illegitimate denial of even a hearing because the person occupying the agency's chair promotes idiotic conspiracy theories in order to cultivate a particularly stupid slice of the voting base. The corruption here is political.
The ONLY argument I am making is:
1) The govt agency should AT LEAST give a fair review of all applications, especially when the same agency previously gave guidance, which the applicants followed, on how the studies should be run.
2) The govt agency should NOT be issuing rare "Refusal To File" denials based on an obvious and unsubstantiated bias against a particular technology (in this case mRNA) because the leader of the agency is a conspiracy theorist.
If you aren't going to read the article before commenting, at least read the comment before replying.

The article was basically economists saying the way FDA is doing things is bad for business.
Which is also what you said as well.
