Here is a study from JAMA about "post market safety events" in the first decade of this century, showing that 32% of new medications, after initially passing muster, were found to present dangers not known to regulators when they were approved: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/f ... le/2625319

Here's an NPR report on the same Yale study referenced above, which reads, "Seventy-one of the 222 drugs approved in the first decade of the millennium were withdrawn, required a "black box" warning on side effects or warranted a safety announcement about new risks, Dr. Joseph Ross, an associate professor of medicine at Yale School of Medicine, and colleagues reported in JAMA on Tuesday. The study included safety actions through Feb. 28."
