IF A DRUG COMPANY DID THIS it would be a huge scandal. But it’s the government, so it’s okay!

UPDATE: Vik Rubenfeld says it really is okay, and that this story is deeply misleading: “Dr. Tramont’s actions got the drug to the people sooner and saved lives. But in less honorable hands the procedures he used could have been used for wrongful purposes. Do we sanction Dr. Tramont? Or do we give him credit but keep a more watchful eye out for such things in the future?”
