    The video says that the reason why "people worry it may be going too fast" is because they are experimental treatments that have had deaths linked to them, though it's like 10 seconds of a 2 minute video and isn't elaborated on. It's just the laziest way of trying to instill doubt into an unequivocally positive thing. Like, "a new treatment for cancer is being tried and it's had many successes but also some failures" as a headline on any news site would make you think "cool I guess" and then you'd scroll on; it wouldn't attempt to make you think "Oooo, looks like the American regime is trying and failing in their new attempt to cure cancer! Are they using some kind of modified rat poison that kills a lot of people in a genocide that they then hide the bodies from? Or is it leading to defects? Or other misunderstood effects? Is this a sign of destabilization and protest that will be a part of bringing down the government???"

      Didn't the US pass a law a few years ago that researchers couldn't deny experimental drugs to patients who wanted then because of safety concerns?

        Yup the "right to try" act but it didn't pass

        Most states have their own https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right-to-try_law

      If they think people dying from experimental treatments for cancer is bad wait until they hear about having cancer.
