You used the analogy that people drive cars and there are deaths due to accidents in the cars.
But let us look at that analogy to see if drives straight.
There are cars that have unsafe attributes to them and the manufacturer recalls those for repairs to make them safe. Recently, certain air-bags could malfunction in a collision and there were deaths from the faulty manufacture of the bags. And there have been cases of faulty brakes, faulty wheels and now deliberate fraud to circumvent the pollution controls by the manufacturer to make the cars seem more fuel efficient than they really are and the manufacturer may not be able to remedy this with the EPA. But the EPA is on top of the situation and will act to have VW correct the fraud.
And then there are cars in their entirety that were unsafe and the manufacturer stopped making them. I remember the Pinto and the Corvair. The Chev was designed intricately but had an unsafe balance to it as the rear engine air-cooled engine was problematic in cornering and was ruled unsafe at any speed by consumer advocates and Chev stopped production. They could have remedied the design but consumer sentiment stopped that. There were a lot of deaths involved with that car.
Another is still made today, the Corvett. More deaths than in any other car. But the car is designed to go fast and those that buy them know that. And speed kills.
One of the great cars never made it. It was made by Preston Tucker in 1949. It also had a rear engine but Tucker planned the car out correctly and it handled beautifully for its day, even with an air-cooled rear engine from a helicopter.
Cars can be analogous to drugs. If a defect is in the car, the manufacturer fixes it so that it doesn't continually happen to kill people. And if the car is defective that results in deaths, the manufacturer stops making it.
Now if a drug has a defect in it that causes deaths, the manufacturer still allows it to be produced. Where is the FDA? Are they driving Corvairs and Pintos?
