I think it is ridiculous to even publish such a blatantly speculative article. Irresponsible, and inflammatory. Inconsistent with medical prudence.

They clearly discovered a significant variable which alone explains the cancer incidence, CD-4 count. As there is no plausible reason to consider that to be a spurious finding, and no significant trend among Lunesta users, this letter should have been properly filed in the recycling bin.
