    Sigh. This is why #RightToTry passed. It's so easy to demagogue and lead people like Mike into reacting like this to criticism and opposition to RTT. https://twitter.com/golfhacker72/status/1001941664540381186 …

        Also, my opposition to #RightToTry has nothing to do with @realDonaldTrump. I was criticizing and opposing RTT in 2014, well over a year before Trump ever descended that escalator at Trump Tower to announce his candidacy.

        And, unsurprisingly, Mike won't even consider the possibility that I might have a point. https://twitter.com/GolfHacker72/status/1002621535545446405 …

        Of course, reactions like those of Mike are, of course, why so few medical professional societies, cancer centers, and academic medical centers were willing to oppose #RightToTry.

        Opposing #RightToTry gets people like Mike accusing you of being heartless, evil (Satan!), and of actually wanting children to die—oh, and also being a shill for big pharma. https://twitter.com/GolfHacker72/status/1002622670658301952 …

        And of wanting to suppress cannabis, which is an assumption on his part that presumes facts not in evidence. https://twitter.com/GolfHacker72/status/1002623200218542080 …

        You know, repeatedly calling me "evil" and "Satan" is usually a reason for me just to block someone and move on. However, tolerating a #RightToTry advocate calling me those things (at least for a while) is useful as a teachable moment over why so few are willing to oppose RTT.

        I actually go into children's hospitals, and look into the eyes of terminally ill 5 year old children, with some regularity. And I nevertheless think #RightToTry offers such children no meaningful benefits, and so am opposed.

        It doesn't sound like there was a need. "CDER receives over 1000 applications for expanded access each year. The majority are for single patients, roughly evenly split between emergency & nonemergency use. The vast majority, 99.7%, are allowed to proceed."https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5135086/ …
