FDA is a compromised Agency and honestly, do we really need them, or should it be upon individual State health agencies to perform for their people, I say yes.
Although the agency is independent, what safeguards against federal government interference in its leadership and hiring decisions? The technology industry is also independent, but how has that benefited us? While there is no perfect example, if each state, which has its own health department, is responsible for its state, the federal government could still sue if it finds any improper conduct.

We need a independent federal agency to make sure Americans are not poisoned by snake oil salesman which are now controlling the controllers.

Duplication of efforts via state level would just be enormously expensive!
