For those people who were affected, then they deserve everything they can get. I am just saying that for people like me, I know the risk profile (or at least I think I do ).
But my thoughts are whenever a new medication comes to market, especially with a disease as tricky as MS and when you are fiddling around with immune systems, it is fair to expect the consumers are fairly well versed on the possible risks of a brand new medication having dangerous side effects as time wears on.

I am so thankful and my heart breaks for those brave souls who try drugs early on and are the ones who pave the way for others however I do not think it is a matter of malpractice on any level unless there were indications during the trials that were covered up.

These kind of lawsuits scare me because I believe they hinder future trials of new medications.
