My guess is that nobody will prescribe it?



That sounds like a bad bet. Pharma ads are allowed to target patients directly, so people will ask their doctor for it, and pharma reps are cozy with doctors, so at least some doctors will go for it themselves.

This really requires some fix at the FDA or somewhere in the government or it's going to be a disaster.


Yeah, but there is so much publicity around the efficacy of the drug, people might not ask for it, and doctors might advise against it, or just refuse to write a script, particularly at that price.


You have far too much faith in people, especially scared/hurting people.
