The FDA has value in making sure that the safety, efficacy and quality of medicines are sound before they are given to the populace.

In an ideal world this is true. It's supposed to be the intention of the agency, right?
But they don't do that, instead they're all bribed and blackmailed into propping up poison and its producers who profit from both poisoning the public and then providing the "cure" to address symptoms but never the actual cause.

As someone who has worked for a huge bio-pharmaceutical company in the past, I can tell you first hand that the FDA makes drug companies go through extensive and very expensive drug testing and trials before they go to market. These trials are taken very seriously and the drug companies are deathly afraid of the FDA stifling their progress because they know that it is a realistic possibility if the tests don't go well.

Yeah, they don’t do that, though. Haven’t for a long time, if ever. They’re paid to collude with existing companies to maintain the hierarchy and profit model.

They do that and put drug maker through very expensive flaming hoops to ensure it. It costs a billion dollars to bring a new drug to market, partially because of the drug trials.
