19. As expected, no evidence.

Oct 2014

Information concerning the drug is well known and widely available. If it was not, studies could not be conducted, the drug could never make it to market, and it would never have been administered to the two patients, even on an experimental basis.

The manufacturer has also been extensively investigated and interviewed by numerous news sources worldwide. This exposure is good for the company, and they are in the process of producing more of the drug. It does not happen overnight, and it still has not actually been approved for widespread human use. My assertions are not rumor or innuendo, but statements from the company, treating doctors and hospitals, the government, and other relevant and knowledgeable public health and related authorities.

You, on the other hand, just don't trust all "doctors, hospitals, drug companies, etc."

Again, would you care to provide both your qualifications to question the innumerable individuals and institutions who corroborate the drug manufacturer's position, and any actual evidence other than general distrust and belief in conspiracies?
