Sure but what about the people that don't get the drug? They have to die to prover your point, that is what a double blind study does. Give a drug to people that shows promise and withhold the real drug from half of them, count the dead as a positive, that is what data does. It is immoral to withhold a drug from people that might be helped by it no matter what data you need. People have to die my foot, how about the ones that take it and keep living, that is data as well. Just not absolute proof that you think they need. The drug has been abound since the 40's what more do you think they need to know about the safety of it?
There is the recent French study which skipped using a double blind because of the necessity of the moment.
