I wouldn't think so.
No.
In fact, like I said, under the REMS program, it's supposed to be occurring.
Now, they are saying right now that they are in the process of a thorough safety review.
They've been saying that since last summer.
How long do they take?
It shouldn't take more than about a year, so we'll see.
If they really started it when they said that they started it, then I would expect by this coming summer or at the latest this fall that we would have information.
I think the important thing to point out with this topic in particular and the FDA, the studies that they relied upon to justify their decision to remove that in-person dispensing requirement have a lot of problems with them.
For instance, so there were five main studies that they relied upon to make that decision to say, oh, look, telemedicine, again, telemedicine abortions are safe, so they don't have to have that in-person dispensing requirement.
However, if you look at the studies they used, many of them only enrolled women who had already had blood work done at an outside facility and who had already had an ultrasound done at an outside facility.
Well, that's got to be extremely rare.
Exactly.
Most women ordering this are not doing all that.
Oh, totally.
But those are the women that were enrolled in the study.
So they've already hand-selected women that are going to be at the lowest risk of complications because they've had an ultrasound, they've had blood work.
But as you just said, that's not what's happening in the real world right now.
Manipulating the data is what I'm getting at.
Yeah, absolutely.
