Ok, so now the drug is made available to not only those that can pay, but in an extended hypo, the highest bidder.
If something goes wrong, the lawyers will line up to sue (they will be circling anyway, in this scenario). With all the frivolous litigation in this country, it is a no brainer to not even provide one miniscule avenue of being sued, especially a big “mean, power hungry, rich, big company”. The jury would hang em. It’s a bad situation, but I agree with the CEO.
(playing devil’s advocate)...
Don’t you think those lawyers are lining up to sue this company anyway? Some sort of “they should’ve known”? How can ANY company protect against “one miniscule avenue of being sued”?
