Given the history of the FDA and complete mishandling of approvals such as Thalidomide, I wouldn’t be surprised at all to see their hand forced in the name of political expediency.
The sale of Thalidomide was blocked in the US despite huge pressure to release it. What is not widely known is that documents from the Nazi government have been discovered that reveal the drug had been created in their concentration camps as they were doing experimentation to try to find an antidote to the nerve gas Sarin. The scientists involved were given early release from prison after the war and ended up in a German pharmaceutical company who marketed the drug as a safe over-the-counter nausea medication for pregnant women. When it became undeniable that the drug caused horrible deformities children, the company came under legal scrutiny, but by then they had destroyed all evidence and insisted it was an error. Thalidomide has been called the last Nazi war crime.
