10 cases in a month is a lot, even if there are 46,000 on the drug right now, and 13-odd thousand who've been on for more than 24 months. If every month 10 people continued to be added to the total, it would not be good!!.

Hi Cheri,
Didn't Biogen rush this drug to market saying it was safe?
Didn't they state that PML only happened in MS patients who had taken other immune system altering drugs?
Didn't they state earlier that there wasn't additional risk of PML when using the drug for long periods of time?
Didn't they tell Dr. L. Steinman, the co-inventor of the drug, to keep quiet when he initially told the media that this drug would prove dangerous as time went on?
Like you said, if this increased incidence of PML continues with the numbers that we have seen in the last month, it will be more than "not good" for Biogen. Like one of the business analysts stated, it will be "devastating"!
Take care.
