Nice to know your eyelashes will last

Now we know where the priorities of the FDA and the health industry are, huh?

The FDA has now approved the first prescription drug to enhance dull eyelashes. Like such a drug is really needed.

There's a skillion new drugs out there that may save lives or substantially curb major public health threats, but those have been waiting for years for FDA approval. But it takes no time at all for eyelash drugs that are purely cosmetic to be approved.

I can't believe such a drug was even developed. Drug companies like to say that their products are so expensive because they need to finance the development of new drugs to combat disease. Well, now we know what new drugs they're financing.

Thinning eyelashes are a serious public health menace, I guess.
