I guess you don't know, everyone in the FDA with any power is a former (and often future) pharmaceutical executive. And workers who are "to strict" about approving drugs are pressure out of the FDA.
And let's not forget the pharmaceutical industry meeting with President Obama, and "helped him write" the Affordable Care Act.

The companies being involved with the politicial end of business is not unusual. Most major industries are in some manner. And they were smart in how they operated in the vaccine problems set up with covid in that they were made save harmless by not having the FDA certify the use of the drugs for other than emergency use. This saved them from the old let’s sue the gun company when someone shoots a person or sue McDonald’s when some idiot spills hot coffee on themselves saying the coffee was too hot. That’s part of the politics, also.
