Pressure from lobbyists and patient advocates may be pushing for expensive, ineffective drugs for the sake of having something, even if safety and efficacy data may be lacking.
One of the main factors that drove Leqembi's approval was if Medicare covered a large portion of the cost. Medicare initially argued against it due to lack of evidence, but once again peer pressure led to them changing their stance, and so now the public is paying for people taking these medications which lacks both safety and efficacy data. It wouldn't be surprising if these ALS treatments go that same route.
We all need and deserve a 5 billion in fruad fines and leader in cause iatrogenic death! Look up the Johns Hopkins [low-ball] iatrogenic study, claiming "medicine" [only] kill's 250,000 annually, i.e. the 3rd. leading cause of death in the USA! The well cited book, Death by Medicine by Dr. Null document's 800,000 annual iatrogenic deaths! i.e. The Leading cause of Death! i.e. Killing more Americans than ALL the wars USA has Ever been in!!! [Fact] NOW in CA. if a real doctor thinks the "wrong" way on Ivermectin or HCQ, the sickness industrial complex in cahoots with pimp Politics will de-license any offending doctor! It's the [cough] "LAW" [barf!] I suppose a Godless sex degenerate nation deserves no better!
The insured pay for these snake oils.
