Again, it's benefit vs risk and as long as the patient, be it Crohn's or MS, is given all the information about this, the decision becomes that of the patient.

In all fairness, that patient was already severely immunosuppressed when Tysabri was started. So that's really not a fair case of monotherapy. Nobody has died from monotherapy to date.
