A follow-up to my hobbit post
I recommend a couple of books:
The Censor's Hand (arguing that IRBs do more harm than good): https://www.amazon.com/Censors-Hand-Misregulation-Human-Subject-Bioethics/dp/0262028913
Ethical Imperialism: https://www.amazon.com/Ethical-Imperialism-Institutional-Sciences-1965-2009/dp/0801894905
Even Tuskegee is overblown: https://www.spiked-online.com/2004/01/08/tuskegee-re-examined/
Scott Alexander has a depressing but hilarious story of his attempt to deal with the IRB.

As with anti-nuclear activists and Chernobyl & anti-vaxxers and thalidomide. It says something about the quality of an argument when there go to example is from decades prior and not particularly applicable
I wrote this piece a few weeks ago. I think it relates.
