The question remains, whether these research results will have any greater impact on future treatment - and if so in which way: will real alternatives be made available, or will we just be presented with "newer and safer medications", as we already know them all too well? - or whether they'll be brushed under the rug, downplayed, and distorted, as we have seen it been done with equally "inconvenient" results so many times before?
