Wow! This is for real! Check out The Isaac Foundation and read the story for yourself! Sad. I feel for the boys parents. And just to think that we could help save this boys life...
To you moronic imbeciles who say "what is the other side?" Well the side and only side that matters is that this child will die without the drug. Does anything else matter?
Other side? WTF!!!!!!!?
Seems pretty clear cut to me. Terrible story and I really do feel of Jack and his family. However, do you think Jacks dad realized he was asking Shire to break the law?? Again terrible story but why wasn't this video directed towards the FDA.
Would anyone in their right mind steal a prescription from CVS with a cop behind them just because the person in front of them said its alright.
Come back to reality Jack's dad your dispute should be with the FDA not Shire. If this family wanted a resolution this video would have addressed the FDA, unfortunately I think daddy is trying to politicize his son for $$$$$. Look between the lines and Jack's dad is somewhat disgusting.
You are so full of it. since when there is a law prohibiting companies to provide investigational treatment considering it's approved by the IRB and under an IND? it's pretty clear by the video that the first criteria would be met and considering Shire is already developing the formulation and testing an IND is in place. don't comment about things you don't know.
even if the development was not in place the FDA would have the authority to grant and emergency IND but they need Shire ok to that (and yes, Shire did that in the past!).
it's a decision about financial risk and nothing else, I'm nobody to judge it but they should come straight and say it.

I read that he didn't qualify for the study. If you think Shire can just give out investigational drugs like candy then you're delusional. Who has Shires back when some lawyer sues them? What happens if this one patient throws it off for everyone else? There are many things to consider. Sad deal all around!
The web site literally quotes the FDA saying this decision is up to the company. I guess i would believe the FDA over a bunch of company apologists. Shire execs should man up and be "Brave." Save the kid.
Agreed. It breaks my heart that this little boy is going to die but we have a drug that may be able to save him. I have 2 kids under the age if 8 so I can only imagine the pain his parents must be going thru...wished there was something we could do
You can. It's called a grass roots effort. How do you think your CEO would react if challenged by his very own employees?
I would be terminated. I like my job and don't want to join the unemployment line. Are you offering me another job in this terrible economy???
Sleep well my friend.

"As a group, we feel it's important to save the life of a child. Give that child the med. You don't we walk."
Who could disagree? Let me guess, it's okay for the CEO to cover his ass but what about you, the employee? How do you sleep at night knowing that YOU said nothing about this atrocity? You are all as guilty as he is.
Although I'm sad for Jack and this unfortunate situation I sleep great at night knowing that I and Shire help patients every single day. You're delusional if you think we are going to go in as a sales force and threaten to walk out if he doesn't give him the med. We all have families of our own to support and guess what? - there are many people in line that would love to have our jobs. As much as I hate Jacks situation I understand the rationale from Shire's standpoint. Also, you getting on here and degrading our moral character doesn't make me want to fight for you.
Oh I am sorry for degrading your moral character. Here is this better:
I am SO proud of you!!!! You must be proud of yourself and this company. Way to go. I know your family is proud of you. What a great example you are setting. Go tell your kids that you are more worried about "people in line" than a sick kid. Great job! Wouldn't it be great if everyone was like you!
BTW, I could care less if you don't want to "fight for me". You are a coward and won't fight for anyone.
Now you resort to name calling on social media-who is the coward? I don't know if you're just a troll or are actually close to this situation-either way, I wish you well.
