Why do these things always seem like smoke with no fire?

If anyone with authority were really serious about changing the way things are done at the FDA, I really believe they would approve Afrezza tomorrow, using existing evidence of safety, efficacy, and bioequivalence to do so. If they want to expand a label or move the point on the treatment timeline for a drug, they can do so after the market has had a chance to see it, use it, and put it to work in people's lives.

I'm really tired of seeing this "faster approval process" notion tossed around in the press as if it is real. I have no firsthand experience that would actually show this to be true.
