Reply #8: no, that we modernize [View All]

and stop using medieval methods

on edit: Not sure why you think this was a bad batch. The article clearly says that the guy had participated in trials before, but it does NOT say for this drug. The article says

"Has there been some manufacturing problem? Has there been some issue of contamination? Has there been a dosing error or is this indeed some completely unanticipated side effect of the drug in humans, which is specific to humans?"


so obviously they realize it could be an unanticipated side effect, and the article also says this was the first time they'd tried this drug on humans.

Furthermore, it says:

"These events were completely unexpected and do not reflect the results we obtained from initial laboratory studies which enabled us to progress investigations into human volunteers.


So obviously the animal trials DID NOT APPLY.

As for the article's claim that adverse drug reactions are rare, see this:

PISON, TN -- (INTERNET WIRE) -- 11/26/2001 -- The Journal of the American Medical Assoc* reported adverse drug reactions as “the 4th and 6th leading cause of death.” 4-15-98. This was in hospitals under monitored conditions and with “drugs that were properly prescribed and administered.” If we included all drugs prescribed by doctors for patients at home with no monitoring, and all drugs that people buy over-the-counter, , drugs would rival improper diet as a leading cause of death, says Richard Ruhling, MD.
