Harry,

So, do we not offer drugs that have a chance of bad side effects? Don't we have to look at the overall effect? Let the patients know of any possible adverse affects and let them decide for themselves? Would you rather we not have Tysabri available as a treatment?

For myself, it has given me back a lot of my quality of life. All of these heavy duty drugs have their chances of dangerous side effects. If I take too much aspirin I might bleed to death.

So what do we do Harry? Take the Tysabri away? (And you know I'm not baiting you, I respect you as the caring spouse of someone with MS, your dear late wife.) Just trying to let you see the side of the patient that relies on Tysabri.
