And they painted themselves into a corner at the end, and they couldn't at that point then say, okay, well, actually, Only these small subset of people should use the medication because the risk is then worth it in the small subset. But they couldn't do it. They had to withdraw completely. So it's just so stupid on so many levels. It's such a waste of time.

And it's a waste of all the time and effort that went into making the medication again, too. Because again, the concept behind the medication, looking at COX-2 inhibitors, looking at ways to selectively attack the pain pathways, shut down the pain pathways before they cascade into inflammation and pain, it's all smart.

Like, people should beβ€”we should be researching new pain medications andβ€” worrying about how to do that right, as opposed to how to make as much money off of it as possible. But that's not where we are. It's not who we are. So I don't know why I'm saying this.
