Wow now THAT is a wiild requirement…Why would you need something tested in every human alive to know it’s good enough to prescribe to someone that’s going to die without it? Do you understand how statistical probability works?
If I told you you have cancer and I can give you a treatment that works 90% of the time and is your best option (which is literally how they frame it), that’s not good enough for you? I shouldn’t offer a service that I can’t guarantee will save you, I should just say “sorry bud, I have a really good idea of what almost always works but…it hasn’t been tested on you yet so we just shouldn’t do anything”
I said nothing of the sort. I did suggest familiarizing yourself with the actual drug discovery timeline. But clearly you did not. Obviously testing a drug on everyone is stupid and impossible, obviously.
What nonsense? Are you trying to tell me every drug is tested on every person alive?
