As to long term testing:
Well, this is a hot issue with AIDS. Do we wait
and study long term or treat people who are sick now ? Do we tell patients that we have meds in the pipeline but we have to wait 10 years to use them, despite the fact they are excellent treatments.In the AIDS meds we fast tracked them, but because
we fast tracked them we waited till people were really sick. We now know this policy killed many
people. We now know many AIDS meds need to be given as soon as you are HIV+.People seem to demand meds with no side effects
without realizing that it is impossible to do this. Even water kills.
