Well, yes, the chemical or the, whoever is developing the drug can hire a whole bunch of scientists to say that it's good but it still has to go through peer review and the peer review is not done by who they pay. It's done by scientists and researchers and doctors all over the country and the world. So they come out with something that's safe and then they turn around and find out it's not. They're going to say something about it. And we've had drugs in the past that were brought to our attention that caused a lot of harm and because of that they wound up notifying the public that it was bad and lawsuits started flying around that cost them billions if not billions of dollars. So there are some checks and balances in place. It's not perfect but it still goes off of peer review rather than going through the company themselves or the doctors that they wanted to use.

And so there's doctors out there that do deny drugs based off peer review and tell their patients because I've had that happen to me.
