The measure also absolves drug companies and healthcare providers from liability for administering the drug, though it leaves doctors (though not manufacturers) still liable in cases of “reckless or willful misconduct, gross negligence, or an intentional tort.” In the words of David Gorski of Wayne State University, a veteran quack-hunter, the measure “leaves doctors out to twist in the wind but still protects manufacturers.” Gorski calls the version of the bill that Trump signed “the very worst version of the sham known as ‘right-to-try.’”
