| From MS Focus (July 24, 2020)--"Higher severe COVID-19 risk for | |
| patients on Ocrevus, Rituxan." The article quotes Dr. Ben | |
| Thrower, well known in MS research, as saying that the risk of | |
| taking MS disease-modifying therapy (DMT) still outweighs the | |
| benefits, however. | |

| Might this be a drug company's response to the reports about a | |
| higher risk for severe COVID-19 in patients on Ocrevus? From | |
| PubMed, "COVID-19 in ocrelizumab-treated people with multiple | |
| sclerosis" (April 2021): | |
