Reply #31: That's fine if you want to trust the FDA and the pharma giants.

Afterall, it's not like "fast tracked" drugs are later found to be dangerous. Except of course,when they have caused problems later on. Allowing the pharma corporations to self regulate the reporting of any dangers found doesn't seem like the smartest or safest course of action. This still comes down to trusting pharma and a R politician from Tx. I mean...what could go wrong there?

In the present time, this is a fast tracked drug with no long term studies (especially on chidren) and which has caused some disagreement on its' efficacy and value in the countries where it has been tested.

Combine that with a moronic R politician and his staff lobbyist, and I would not let this be used on any family members. Time will tell, but if people are willing to trust two very dubious sources with something as important as their chidrens' health, then so be it.
