Whenever I see a story like this I always wish it was reframed more literally: it's not so much that FDA is *allowing* imports of the essential drug as it is the FDA putting a pause on prosecution of anybody doing the importing.

In other words, those drugs would already be heading into the country had the FDA not been threatening prosecution previously.

Yeah, we've probably should have the FDA policing and blocking the sale of some drugs, but being clear about how that works helps emphasize that it is a balance that we need to consider.
