Jesus Christ on a bike, that’s beyond dystopian, that’s completely f—-ked up.

Does the fda allow that?

There’s huge tradeoffs people rarely talk about in Medicine. Significant risk of soiling yourself vs a statistically significant reduction in risk of early death isn’t a big deal for the FDA.

In many cases the hell that is chemo is considered acceptable for even moderate increases in expected lifespan. That’s why people started talking healthy life expectancy vs just life expectancy.

Well duh, if you discuss the side effects with patients, they won't take the drug and the drug people won't send you hookers.

Bizarrely enough, the pressure doesn't always go in that direction.

Yes, why would the FDA restrict what color pants you wear?
