| bigPharma doesn't care about that. They care about the publicity of their drug killing someone faster than the cancer. |

If you have a serious disease they might not mind you taking it. But if you have a serious disease plus your kidneys have already shutdown - w/e drug won’t save you. The death counts as a negative. “Let me take it anyway” well fine but it’s not some huge conspiracy. |

| It's not just those two choices though. It could be "6 months in relative comfort" and "10 days begging each minute to die but you can't because you're borderline unconscious". Or anything in between. Just saying. Medical guidelines are there for a reason and are often, as they say in the military, "written in blood". |
