There is a 100% chance that multiple sclerosis patients will perish with the ship! There may be a 0.1 (1/10 of 1%!) chance one of the life boats will sink. Do we let ALLof the patients go down with the ship? Should we Harm the Many to protect the very few?
It should be the individual patient’sdecision as to whether or not they get a new therapy such as Tysabri, having the current information about the known risks/benefits.
The PATIENTS in consultation with their physicians should have greater control over how they fight for their lives! Ask Parkinson’s patient Robert Suthers, who like others, was denied continued use of GDNF made by Amgen. Robert and others will tell you that MS, Parkinson’s and other illnesses can be a living death.
Every drug that the Abigail Alliance pushed for much earlier access to, from Gleevec to Revlimid, is Now approved by the FDA!
