While we’re at it, the FDA shouldn’t regulate pacemakers, glucose monitors, artificial hearts, cochlear implants, hip replacement joints, or any other kind of surgical implant.

None of them are either food or drugs, and so many people are prevented from getting what they need thanks to these arbitrary restrictions!

Hmmm, on second thought, I’m not sure allowing ali express implants to be marketed the same as rigourously tested implants, with clear evidence of safety and efficacy, is such a great idea.
