Very true. This raises another question as well.

The various hurdles imposed by the FDA raise the cost of drugs. Various proponents of the current FDA regime tell us that this is necessary, and that the cost increase is worth it for the FDA guarantees of efficacy and safety.

Will those proponents now come out and defend the FDA in this instance? Will they declare that the new safety guarantees given to patients are worth $2.40/pill?
