If the boy dies anyway the pharma company will probably be sued for millions. Its bad enough that drugs that are approved by the FDA still open up the companies to massive class action suits.
No wonder some drugs cost more than a car payment - there is no telling when a company might be sued.
I’m sorry the child is ill, but this isn’t the fault of the company that makes the drug - it is the fault of our legal system, the FDA, class action troll lawyers, and never ending liability.
I agree with the CEO - he probably should not have agreed to the interview in the first place. His responsibility is to improve his company and exposing them to lawsuits, or violations of FDA regulations is the right thing to do.
I think we can all agree these are difficult dilemmas. ObeyMeCare (and whatever socialized scheme takes its place) will only bring us more of them.
Where did you come from? Big Pharma is totally evil. Why are you supporting them? They use their underlings at FDA to effectively block natural alternatives that work...and that work better than anything they have in their quiver. There cancer drugs are mostly deadly. They kill thousands every year with their patent drugs. I hope you are hooked though on all the stuff they put out for doctors to prescribe.
