RE: RE: RE: well....Art....
Usually I just laugh and giggle at your musings...this one takes the cake.
Given the massive expense of conducting any drug trial, most rational people, even you, would have to appreciate that a decision to initiate a trial is not one made around the water cooler....
You don't need a slide-rule to understand that if a drug isn't working in a particular trial the likelihood of it working in another that quacks very much like the first would lead even the stupidest of execs to cut bait and move on.
Pharma doesn't suffer fools or failures...there isn't any time for it.....Pharma also doesn't coddle, give second chances and say better luck next time, here's another 10 million just because you tried hard the first time so let's go at it again.
The NR is exactly the kind that people should get their knickers twisted over. If you can't see it, tough luck.....but seriously, take your lorneg group hug garbage elsewhere....your post can't hide behind the 'just being a realist' thing this time....it's just plain stupid.
