Oh, I think there's a response necessary, if you can hear me from your elevated plane of morality. These people took the drug VOLUNTARILY in the case of Enbrel to at least salvage some quality of life, in the case of Rituxan, as a last hope of retaining life. All-I'll say it again-ALL endeavors in life entail a statistical amount of risk-be it driving a car, going to the bathroom, and in the case of drug therapy-THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS THE IDEAL DRUG, one that only works for the specific indication without the element of risk. That 6 people died is indeed regrettable-that they had the courage to actively do something to try to better their condition is laudable.
As I said, in anything in life there is a certain amount of risk, so please be careful stepping down off that judgmental soapbox, you supercilious jerk! |
