I think we have to remember that there are MANY people who have had long term exposure to this drug as a result of their being in the trials (P1, P2,P3) from the start, who haven't developed PML.
Some of them are at 60+ doses already and I believe a few may be up to 70 doses or better by now!
While they have had drug holidays because of the pull from market, end of trials, etc., they still have a LONG lifetime exposure and didn't develop PML.
I think we are going to see more people going on Tysabri who don't have the risk factor of having been on ANY other therapy when all is said and done. (which is what I was trying to do when the drug was pulled in 2005)
