OK. That's reasonable. Now the data needs to be examined in a critical scientific manner. It does not mean you point the finger at drug companies and say they are irresponsible or even worse. How many times do I have to repeat this? Not all side effects can be determined in a clinical trial. Only likely events can be uncovered. When a drug gets more widespread use, new unknown events are discovered. The risks and benefits are weighed and then a path forward is decided based on properly evaluated data. That path forward may be more limited use, or, it may be expanded warning labels, or even discontinuation. Your erroneous conclusion is conspiracy on the part of drug companies. My conclusion is based in rigorous scientific method with rational actions and decisions.

PS Have you ever read the story, "Chicken Little"?
