I am wondering why the doctors would be recommending a drug that hasn’t been approved yet? They should know better than that.

Because it is a Hail Mary issue. It may or may not work. But why deny a dying child a chance. Put yourselves in his parents position.

I lost a child to Cytomagalic Inclusion Disease virus because there where nor cures for it. He lived 33 days. I’ve walked the mile in these parents shoes. And parents who love their children will go to any length to save them. Who know the drug manufacture may be throwing a chance of a trial on 1 child away.

There are now Federals laws allowing for a compassionate use in cases like this. I know as a parent I’d risk it. The worse thing in the world is to sit helplessly by and watch your child die before your eyes. Except to have one Murdered.

And because St Jude’s is a cancer research hospital and they know all about the trials.

Could it be that they are smarter than the Regime?

Because they think it is the only drug that will work.
